Ingredients
  

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1 large egg

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 teaspoon almond extract

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup fresh strawberries, pureed (about 5-6 strawberries)

For the Sparkling Strawberry Sugar:

1/2 cup granulated sugar

2 tablespoons freeze-dried strawberry powder

Instructions
 

Prepare the Sparkling Strawberry Sugar: In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar with the freeze-dried strawberry powder until well combined. Set aside.

    Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

      Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and powdered sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.

        Add Wet Ingredients: Add the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract to the butter mixture and mix until fully combined. Then, add the strawberry puree and stir until well incorporated.

          Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

            Scoop the Dough: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.

              Coat with Strawberry Sugar: Gently flatten each dough ball with the bottom of a glass, then sprinkle the tops generously with the sparkling strawberry sugar.

                Bake the Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look soft, but they will firm up as they cool.

                  Cool and Enjoy: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely. Enjoy your delicious Strawberry Delight Sugar Cookies!
