Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the strawberry reduction
  • 3 cups strawberries (fresh or frozen)
For the cookie dough
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2/3 cup vegan butter (room temperature)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1/4-1 teaspoon pink food coloring (or red food coloring, as needed)
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose plain flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • Pinch salt (if using unsalted butter)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for topping)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Cook the strawberries in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally until they break down into a thick sauce (about 10-15 minutes).
  2. In a large bowl, beat the vegan butter and sugar until creamy. Mix in the strawberry reduction and vanilla extract.
  3. Gradually add flour, baking soda, and salt until a dough forms. Optionally, incorporate pink food coloring.
Baking
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Scoop tablespoon-sized amounts of dough onto a lined baking sheet, flatten slightly, and sprinkle with sugar.
  3. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden. Cool on a wire rack before serving.

Notes

For the best results, ensure your vegan butter is at room temperature to create a smooth dough. These cookies are delightful on their own or served with vanilla ice cream or lemonade. Store in an airtight container for up to a week, or freeze for longer storage. Taste the strawberry reduction before mixing it into the dough to adjust sweetness.
