Strawberry Doodle Cookies
Strawberry doodle cookies are the strawberry version of the classic snickerdoodle cookie, but rolled in sugar and strawberry powder. They're light and sweet with a bright strawberry flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 cup (227 g) salted butter
- 1½ cups (300 g) granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon (0.25 teaspoon) salt
- 2⅔ cups (375 g) all-purpose flour
- ½ cup (14 g) broken up freeze dried strawberries
Strawberry/Sugar Mixture
- ⅓ cup (66.67 g) granulated sugar
- ⅓ cup (9 g) freeze dried strawberries
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Place the butter and sugar in a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Beat on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add eggs and vanilla and mix on low until smooth, about 30 seconds.
- Slowly mix in flour, cream of tartar, soda and salt, being careful not to over mix. I usually stop when I still have some flour remnants around the bowl.
- Place ½ cup of freeze dried strawberries in plastic bag and break into small pieces. Pour into cookie dough and mix together.
- Using a blender or a food processor, blend the freeze dried strawberries until it forms a powder. Add in the sugar and pulse 2-3 times until combined.
- Scoop the dough into large balls, I like to use a 3 tablespoon cookie scoop for these. Roll in strawberry sugar mixture.
- Bake the cookies for 11-13 minutes. You're looking for a nice light golden brown around the edges, and some crackling along the top. Sprinkle with leftover strawberry powder right after they come out if you have some.
Notes
The butter and eggs should not be completely chilled from the fridge, but should also not be room temperature. I try to let them sit out for about 15-30 minutes before I begin my cookie making!
If you don't have a food processor or blender you can crush the strawberries as well, just keep in mind the larger chunks will brown more as they bake.
I have given both cups and grams as measurements. Grams will be more precise, especially when measuring flour. If you don’t have a kitchen scale, no problem! Just lightly spoon flour into your measuring cup to insure its not packed in there. Light and fluffy is the key.
