Strawberry Shortbread
Strawberry cookies are loaded with fresh strawberries which makes it difficult to achieve crunchy and buttery cookies at the same time. These strawberry cookies have all the flavors of a fresh strawberries without the moisture. Freeze dried strawberries are the secret to my strawberry shortbread cookies recipe. If you want more strawberry color and flavor, then add about half a tablespoon to the dough.
I used brown sugar and granulated sugar for a boost of flavor and texture. You can replace the brown sugar with granulated white sugar for a pinker cookie.
Uses of Freeze Dry Strawberry
Freeze-dried strawberries are fruits that have dried in their natural state with no additives added, and they are full of flavor. They are available in most grocery stores, and you will find them where they have dried raisins and other dried fruits. Use freeze dried fruits or powdered strawberry to flavor buttercream frosting and cake batter.
