Strawberry Snowball Cookies image

I love to enjoy a couple of these rose-tinged cookies with a cup of tea. I make the sweet pink sugar dust by pulsing freeze-dried strawberries with powdered sugar. For a less dense cookie, you can make them half as big.

Time 1h55m

Yield about 2 dozen cookies

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Two 1-ounce packages freeze-dried strawberries
1 cup powdered sugar

Steps:

  • For the cookies: Beat the butter and powdered sugar with an electric mixer at medium speed until creamy. Beat in the vanilla. Combine the flour and salt in a medium bowl, then add to the butter mixture and beat until combined. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Scoop the dough into 1-inch balls using a cookie scoop and place 2 inches apart on parchment paper-lined baking sheets. Bake the cookies until golden brown on the bottoms, 13 to 15 minutes.
  • For the strawberry sugar dust: Meanwhile, pulse the strawberries in a food processor until it forms a powder. Add the powdered sugar and pulse until combined.
  • Roll the warm cookies in the strawberry powdered sugar and transfer to wire racks to cool. Roll in the strawberry powdered sugar again, if necessary, after cooled.
