Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar (plus more for rolling)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup freeze-dried strawberries, finely crushed
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Cream softened butter and 1/2 cup powdered sugar until smooth and fluffy.
- Mix in vanilla extract and crushed freeze-dried strawberries until evenly combined and pink.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour and salt. Gradually add to the butter mixture until a soft dough forms.
- Stir in mini chocolate chips until just incorporated.
- Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place on a lined baking sheet. Chill for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake chilled dough balls for 12–14 minutes, until set and bottoms are lightly golden.
- Cool cookies slightly, then roll in powdered sugar while warm. Cool completely and roll again for full coverage.
Notes
- Use white chocolate chips for a different flavor twist.
- Add a drop of strawberry extract or pink food coloring for a stronger color and flavor.
- Roll in strawberry-flavored powdered sugar for extra berry taste.
- Freeze after baking or as dough balls for easy future baking.
- Re-roll in powdered sugar before serving if needed.
