Hey guys! Today I’m sharing the recipe for these pretty Frosted Strawberry Sugar Cookies that are perfect for Valentine’s Day, or just for fun!
This recipe uses freeze dried strawberries, which gives you a great strawberry flavor without having to deal with moisture that fresh berries bring into baking. They come together really easily- let’s get to it!
These cookies come together really easily, and the hardest part is just turning your freeze dried strawberries into a powder. I know some stores will sell it already in powder form, but I usually can only find whole freeze dried strawberries, so I just pop them into a food processor or blender and pulse until they turn into a fine powder.
After that we’re just mixing the dry ingredients together, and then whipping up the butter and sugar until fluffy. Add in the egg yolks and vanilla extract until just combined, and then add your dry ingredients in. This is a very thick dough, and it needs to be well mixed to fully come together!
Scoop the dough out onto your baking sheet and pop the cookies into the oven. They should spread slightly, and they should be puffy and cracked all over when they are ready. You don’t want to over-bake these ones- lean on the side of what you might think is under-baked!
Then we’re spreading a super simple strawberry buttercream on the tops of each and enjoying! Optionally throw some sprinkles on there too.
These cookies are simple to make, and I have some tips and tricks to help you along the way!
Hope you guys enjoy this one!
In a large bowl, beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the egg yolks, vanilla extract, and beat until combined. Slowly add in the flour mixture and beat until fully combined.

A note on the white chocolate for the buttercream- mine hardened after melting while I was waiting for it to cool to room temperature. I ended up tempering another batch and adding while it was still a little warm. The buttercream turned out just fine!
