Easy Strawberry Shortbread Cookies are buttery, melt-in-your-mouth treats packed with sweet strawberry flavor, perfect for tea time, holidays, or an everyday dessert.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (15g) freeze-dried strawberries, finely crushed

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Mix in the vanilla extract until combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, salt, and crushed freeze-dried strawberries.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture and mix until a soft dough forms.
  6. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Gently flatten each cookie with a fork or the bottom of a glass.
  7. Bake for 12–15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
  8. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use freeze-dried strawberries for the best flavor without adding extra moisture.
  • Chill the dough for 20–30 minutes if it feels too soft to handle.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
  • For extra sweetness, drizzle with melted white chocolate after cooling.
