Ingredients
  

Produce:
  • 2 tbsp freeze-dried strawberry powder
Refrigerated:
  • 1 large egg
Condiments:
  • 1 tbsp molasses
Pasta & Grains:
  • 1 cup old-fashioned oats
Baking & Spices:
  • 1 1/8 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 drop pink gel food coloring optional
Dairy:
  • 10 tbsp unsalted butter softened
  • 2 tbsp whole milk

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and molasses until well combined.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
  3. Chill: Cover the dough and refrigerate for 30 minutes to make it easier to handle.
  4. Preheat and Shape: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll the dough into small balls (about 1.5 tablespoons each) and place them on the sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.
  5. Bake: Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the cookies are golden around the edges. Allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  6. Make the Strawberry Glaze: In a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, freeze-dried strawberry powder, milk, and food coloring (if using) until smooth. Adjust the milk to achieve your desired consistency.
  7. Ice the Cookies: Dip the tops of the cooled cookies into the glaze or drizzle the glaze over them. Let the glaze set for about 20 minutes before serving.
