Instructions
Cookies 1 Whisk together the all-purpose flour, freeze dried strawberry powder, salt, and baking soda in a medium bowl. 2 Mix together the melted butter & sugar, then eggs, yolk, and vanilla in a separate bowl. 3 Add the flour mixture to the wet and stir until everything is combined. Finally, stir in the freeze dried strawberries, saving a few to top the cookies before baking. Using a medium cookie scoop, scoop dough and place them on a lined plate or small baking tray. 4 Place your dough in the fridge for 2 hours or overnight. 5 Prepare your baking sheets with parchment paper. Place the cookie dough balls about 2 inches apart on your baking sheets. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and, one sheet at a time, bake your cookies until the edges are firm and the centers are soft, about 12-14 minutes. 6 Once the cookies come out of the oven, use a round cookie cutter or glass to scoot the edges in and make them perfectly round. Cool your cookies on a wire rack or cooling rack, and wait to cool completely. Cream Cheese frosting 8 Beat together the softened butter and cream cheese on medium speed until it’s smooth and somewhat fluffy. 9 Scrape down the sides, then add in the powdered sugar slowly and vanilla paste. 10 Place cream cheese frosting in a plastic bag or pastry bag and cut off the tip to prepare for assembling the tarts! Assembly 12 Using a spoon or an offset spatula, and spread cream cheese frosting on top of the strawberry cookies. Top with slices of strawberries, a sprinkle of graham cracker crumbs and strawberry freeze dried powder and enjoy!View original recipe
