These vibrant Strawberry Sugar Cookies have crisp edges, soft centers and – best of all! – a burst of sweet strawberry flavor thanks to our freeze-dried strawberries!

Ingredients

3 tablespoons Freeze-Dried Strawberry Powder (from one 1 oz. bag of Brothers All Natural Strawberry Fruit Crisps)

1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)

1 cup granulated sugar

1 egg

1 1/2 cup all purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon cream of tartar

OPTIONAL: Red food coloring

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.

2. In a food processor or blender, pulverize Brothers All Natural freeze-dried strawberries into a fine powder. Set aside.

3. In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until combined. Add egg, vanilla, and red food coloring, if using, and mix until smooth. Add strawberry powder, flour, baking powder, and cream of tartar and mix until just combined.

4. Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place on prepared baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are set. Allow to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to finish cooling.
