Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup chopped fresh strawberries
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • ½ cup vegan butter
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup cooled strawberry syrup
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch + 2 tbsp water
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1½ cups gluten-free flour
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • Optional: red or pink food coloring
  • Extra sugar for rolling

Instructions

  1. To make the strawberry syrup, combine chopped strawberries and sugar in a saucepan. Simmer over medium heat for 10–12 minutes until thickened. Mash gently and strain to remove solids. Chill for at least 30 minutes.
  2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened vegan butter and granulated sugar until fluffy. Add the cooled strawberry syrup, cornstarch-water mixture, and vanilla extract; mix well.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together gluten-free flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually incorporate dry ingredients into wet ingredients until a thick dough forms.
  4. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 2½ hours or overnight.
  5. Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Scoop about 1.5 tablespoons of dough per cookie, roll in extra sugar, and place on a lined baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 14–16 minutes until edges are set and tops crackle. Cool on the tray for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
