Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter, softened (227 grams)
1 cup sugar (200 grams)
2 large egg (about 100 grams)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour (330 grams)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
2 cups freeze-dried strawberries (56 grams) (I found these at Target or Trader Joe’s)
green food coloring
red food coloring
1-2 Tablespoons white sesame seeds
1-2 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted for dipping
Directions
- Preheat an oven to 350°F.
- Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This will take 2-3 minutes.
- Beat in the eggs and vanilla extract.
- Slowly fold in the flour, salt, and cream of tartar.
- Remove about 1/2 a cup of the plain dough and set aside (this will be for the green stems).
- In a blender or food processor, blend the freeze-dried strawberries until they are a powder.
- Add the strawberry powder to the remaining dough along with 3-4 drops of red food coloring and mix until combined.
- Place the strawberry dough between two pieces of parchment paper and roll to 1/8″ thick.
- Transfer the parchment and strawberry dough to a sheet tray and place in the freezer until solid. This will take about 20 minutes.
- To the plain dough that was set aside, add 3-4 drops of green food coloring and mix until combined.
- Place the green dough between two pieces of parchment paper and roll to 1/8″ thick. Transfer the parchment and dough to a sheet tray and place it in the freezer until solid.
- Cut strawberry shapes out of the strawberry dough. I used this cookie cutter set.
- Sprinkle a bit of sesame seeds onto each cookie.
- Using the stem cutter from the same set, cut stems out of the green dough.
- Dab a small amount of water onto the back of the stem before pressing it into the strawberry cookie.
- Use a toothpick to create leave lines on the green stems.
- Bake for 7-8 minutes.
- Once the cookies have cooled, dip the end of strawberries into the melted chocolate. Enjoy!
