Chewy Strawberry Sugar Cookies
I came up with this recipe for strawberry sugar cookies when we were given a lot of strawberries and I had to figure out what to do with them. I hope everyone likes these cookies as much as my kids did!
white sugar
1 ½
cups
butter, softened
1
cup
egg
1
large
strawberry puree
3
tablespoons
all-purpose flour
2 ¾
cups
vanilla extract
1
teaspoon
baking powder
½
teaspoon
salt
½
teaspoon
white sugar
½
cup
red colored sugar (Optional)
1
teaspoon
 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  Beat 1 1/2 cups white sugar and butter together in a bowl with an electric mixer until creamy, about 3 minutes. Beat egg into butter mixture. Add strawberry puree.
  Stir flour, vanilla extract, baking powder, and salt into strawberry mixture with a spoon until flour is completely incorporated into dough.
  Stir 1/2 cup white sugar and red sugar together in a shallow bowl.
  Roll dough into walnut-sized balls, roll each ball in red sugar mixture, and place each ball 1 1/2 inches apart onto prepared baking sheets. Lightly press each dough ball down to flatten.
  Bake cookies in the preheated oven until lightly browned, 10 to 15 minutes. Cool.
