Glaze
- 2/3cup powdered sugar
- 1/2tablespoon powdered freeze dried strawberries
- 1 1/2tablespoons plain non-dairy milk
Instructions
- In a large bowl, beat the butter, 1/2 cup cane sugar and light brown sugar until light and fluffy, 1-2 minutes.
- Add the aquafaba and vanilla. Beat until just combined. Dough will look odd, a little separated, but it will be ok.
- Add the flour, baking powder and salt, mixing carefully until completely combined.
- Stir in the powdered freeze dried strawberries.
- Chill for a minimum of 1 hour in the refrigerator.
- Preheat oven to 350F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or lightly grease with oil.
- Roll the cookie dough into 1″ balls and then roll in the 3 tablespoons cane sugar. Arrange balls on cookie sheet and flatten slightly with the palm of your hand or with the bottom of a glass.
- Bake 12 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool.
- To make glaze: Whisk together glaze ingredients until smooth and completely combined.
- When cookies are completely cooled, spoon glaze over them and let sit at room temp until glaze sets (dries).
- Store in an airtight container at room temp 4-5 days or in the refrigerator up to 10 days.
Recipe Notes
- I powder the freeze dried strawberries in my mini blender. You can also use a food processor.
