Strawberry Cookies

RECIPE FOR

While your cookies cool, make your strawberry cream cheese frosting. You'll be using the powder of freeze dried strawberries for extra fruity flavor.

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment — or in a large mixing bowl using an electric hand mixer — beat the cream cheese until smooth, about 2 minutes. Add the butter and mix for another 1 minute or until fully combined.

Turn off mixer and add salt, powdered sugar, and extracts to bowl. Mix for another 2-3 minutes. Add lemon juice if needed to cut sweetness.

Add finely ground freeze dried strawberries to mixing bowl and mix until well-combined.

Place frosting into piping bag fitted with a tip of your choice.

Once you’ve made your filling, cookies and frosting, match your cookies in pairs based on their size and set them out on a clear space in front of you.

On the flat side of half of all of your cookies, pipe a thick circle of strawberry cream cheese frosting that reaches the edge of the cookie.

Depending on the size of your cookies, place 1-3 teaspoons of your roasted strawberry in the middle.

Put matching cookie on top to form the sandwich, with the filling and frosting inside.
