Ingredients

  • ¾ cup frozen strawberries
  • cup cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 cups flour, all purpose or gluten free flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • pinch sea salt
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp milk

Instructions 

  • First, preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking pan with parchment paper.
  • Microwave frozen strawberries for 60 to 90 seconds, until thawed and juicy. There should be a little bit of strawberry juice in the microwave bowl. Do not drain.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, add cold butter cubes and sugar. Beat on high until combined, about 2 minutes.
  • Then, add in thawed strawberries and their juices. Beat to combine.
  • Add in flour, baking powder and sea salt. Stir to combine.
  • Use cookie scoop to scoop balls of dough onto lined pan.
  • Bake for 9 to 10 minutes or until edges are set. Remove from oven.
  • Once cookies have cooled, make glaze. Combine powdered sugar and milk in a small bowl. Stir until creamy.
  • Lastly, drizzle on top of fully cooled cookies and serve!

Notes

  • Use frozen strawberries.  Fresh strawberries do not have enough juice.
  • Microwave strawberries until jammy and thawed.  Do not lightly thaw.  There should be some strawberry juice in the microwave bowl.
  • Both regular all purpose flour and gluten free 1 to 1 flour work well.  Do not use another flour.
  • These cookies do not spread much.  They remain thick.
  • If desired, gently press down on balls of cookie dough before baking for thinner cookies.
  • Store in the fridge for up to 5 days.  If making without icing, store in an airtight container for up to 4 days at room temperature.
  • Feel free to add in some chocolate chips or white chocolate chips to the dough.
