Cookies

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.

Next, line two baking sheets with either parchment paper or silicone mats.

Follow the directions on the packet of sugar cookie mix to prepare the dough.

Place the dried strawberries in a blender or food processor and blitz until you have a powdery mix, then place aside in a small bowl.

Using a cookie scoop, portion out the sugar cookies and then roll them in the bowl of strawberry powder.

Place the strawberry coated sugar cookies on the prepared baking sheets at least 2 inches apart from each other.

Bake the sugar cookies according to the package's instructions.

Frosting

If the cookies are to be frosted, put all icing ingredients in a bowl and beat them for 2 minutes. If the consistency of the icing needs to be adjusted, add more sugar or cream, as needed.

Once you have let the cookies cool, you can use vanilla-flavored frosting and sprinkle with the remainder of the strawberry powder as desired.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Pulse Dehydrated Strawberries for Optimal Crunch 🍓
Lightly pulse dehydrated strawberries in a food processor rather than using them whole—this creates smaller, more evenly distributed pieces that provide consistent crunch throughout without overwhelming any single bite.
Chill Dough Between Batches for Perfect Texture 🧊
Refrigerate the cookie dough for 10-15 minutes between batches to prevent spreading and maintain the chewy interior with crispy edges that defines these cookies.
Toast Strawberries Lightly for Enhanced Flavor 🔥
Lightly toast dehydrated strawberries in a dry pan for 2-3 minutes before adding to the mix—this intensifies their natural sweetness and creates deeper, more complex berry flavor.
Use Room Temperature Butter for Even Distribution 🧈
Ensure butter is softened to room temperature before mixing with the cake mix so it incorporates evenly, preventing dense spots and guaranteeing uniform texture across all cookies.
Don't Overbake—Remove at First Golden Edge ⏱️
Pull cookies from the oven when edges just turn golden but centers still look slightly underbaked; they continue cooking on the hot pan and will set into the perfect chewy-crunchy texture.
