The foundation of any delicious cookie lies in the creaming process. To begin, you’ll want to add softened butter and granulated sugar to a mixing bowl. Using an electric mixer or a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the mixture on medium speed until it becomes light and fluffy. This process typically takes about 3-5 minutes.

Ingredients
  

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

3/4 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 cup freeze-dried strawberries, powdered

1 cup strawberry-flavored chocolate candies, to top

1/4 cup granulated sugar (for rolling)

Optional: Pink sparkling sugar for decoration

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Cream the Butter: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and powdered sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Add the vanilla extract and mix until well incorporated.

      Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking soda, and powdered freeze-dried strawberries until combined.

        Combine the Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the butter mixture, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix the dough.

          Form Cookies: Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, take a small amount of dough and roll it into a ball. Roll each ball in the granulated sugar (and pink sparkling sugar if using) before placing it on the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart.

            Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.

              Add the Kiss: Immediately after removing from the oven, gently press a strawberry chocolate candy into the center of each cookie. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                Serve: Once cooled, enjoy your delicious Valentine’s Strawberry Kiss Cookies with your loved one, or package them up as a sweet gift!
