Ingredients
- 14 tablespoons (196 g) unsalted butter room temperature
- ¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar
- ⅓ cup (40 g) powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons (2 tablespoons) strawberry powder
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour weighed in grams or spooned and leveled
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup sparkling sugar optional, for rolling
- ¼ cup white chocolate optional, melted for topping
Instructions
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, sugars, and strawberry powder until light and fluffy (2-3 minutes on medium speed). Mix in the vanilla extract.
- Stir the flour and salt into the wet ingredients until the dough comes together and is combined well.
- Place the dough on a sheet of parchment paper and roll it into a log (about 2 inch diameter). Refrigerate for 1 hour up to overnight.
- Preheat oven to 300°F.
- Optional: let the dough soften at room temperature just enough to hold sparkling sugar. Roll in sparkling sugar.

- Bake on the middle rack until the cookies look dry with edges (11-15 minutes). Transfer to a wire rack to cool after a few minutes. Drizzle with melted white chocolate (optional).
