  • 1/2 cup freeze-dried strawberries, crushed

  6. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  7. Flatten each ball slightly with the palm of your hand or the bottom of a glass.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are lightly golden.
  9. Remove from oven and allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  10. Dust with powdered sugar once cooled, if desired, and serve.

Notes

For extra strawberry flavor, add a teaspoon of strawberry extract to the dough or dip cooled cookies in white chocolate mixed with crushed freeze-dried strawberries.
