There’s no shortage of fresh strawberry flavor in these easy cookies! The strawberry cookies<\/strong> are topped with a simple strawberry glaze for added flavor and a pop of color. Best of all, there’s no food coloring or artificial extracts used in this recipe! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Want to know a secret? You don’t have to wait for strawberries to be in season to make these soft and chewy cookies! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s because these strawberry cookies are flavored with freeze-dried strawberries rather than fresh. Fresh strawberries contain excess water, which can create soggy cookies. To remedy this, the berries would have to be cooked down on the stovetop and then allowed to cool, which can take a while.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using freeze-dried strawberries lets us skip the reduction process and infuses these cookies with a more concentrated strawberry flavor (I used this trick in my strawberry pound cake<\/a> recipe). For even more flavor, I also topped the cookies with a simple strawberry icing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another great thing about this recipe is that the cookie dough doesn’t require any chilling, so the entire batch can be baked and iced in about one hour!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
