  • ½ cup unsalted butter (or vegan baking sticks)
  • 2 tbsp milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Prepare the Strawberry Puree:

    • In a saucepan, cook strawberries and sugar over medium heat for 10 minutes until syrupy.

    • Add the cooled strawberry puree, vanilla, and milk. Mix until smooth.

  • Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:

    • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix until a dough forms.
    • Chill the dough for 30 minutes.

  • Shape and Bake:

    • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
    • Scoop the dough into balls, roll in sugar, and place them on the baking sheet.
    • Bake for 11-13 minutes, or until the edges are set.

Notes
