Strawberry Shortcake Sugar Cookies

Instructions

Step 01

Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and set aside.

Step 02

In a large mixing bowl, beat softened butter and granulated sugar together with a mixer until pale and fluffy, about 4–5 minutes.

Step 03

Incorporate eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Blend in vanilla extract until combined.

Step 04

Sift all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder together. Gradually add to the wet mixture, mixing until a uniform dough forms.

Step 05

Portion dough using a heaping tablespoon for each cookie. Roll into balls and arrange on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 06

Gently flatten each dough ball to just over 0.6 cm (1/4 inch) thick using the bottom of a drinking glass.

Step 07

Bake for 10 minutes or until just set. Remove from oven and cool 2–3 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack.

Step 08

Allow cookies to cool thoroughly on the wire rack to prevent glaze from melting.

Step 09

Combine confectioner’s sugar and milk in a bowl, stirring until a smooth, pourable glaze forms.

Step 10

Divide the glaze evenly between two bowls. Tint one portion with pink food colouring, leaving the other white.

Step 11

Place half the cookies face up on a wire rack set over a tray; repeat with the remaining cookies on a second rack.

Step 12

Drizzle glaze over cookies using a fork or transfer the glaze to a zipper-lock bag, snipping a corner for precise zigzag application.

Step 13

Immediately sprinkle Strawberry Shortcake Crumbs atop the glazed cookies.

Step 14

Let cookies stand until the glaze is fully set before packaging or serving.
