# How to Make It:

Grind the freeze-dried strawberries in a blender until you get a smooth, fine powder.
02 -
Set your oven to 350°F and put parchment paper on your baking sheet.

Mix butter, sugar, and vanilla extract until they're fluffy and light. Add the egg and beat well. Slowly add flour, baking soda, some of the strawberry powder, and salt. Finally, mix in the strawberry jam.

Roll the dough into small balls and space them out on your lined baking sheet. Cook for 8 minutes, then gently tap the sheet to flatten cookies, and bake another 2-3 minutes.

Once cookies are cool, either dunk them into the icing or drizzle it over the top.

Lightly hit the baking tray after 8 minutes of cooking to make sure cookies spread out evenly.

You can make the icing thicker or thinner depending on whether you want to dip or drizzle.
