The trick to baking crispy and indulgent cookies
Besides being addictive, our strawberry cookies are really too pretty! To start, make a very simple cookie dough with flour, very cold butter (careful, this is very important to succeed with the dough), icing sugar, one whole egg and one egg yolk for texture and a bit of vanilla for the gourmand note. We recommend not overworking the dough so that it stays nice and pliable. Then, you just have to wrap it and let it rest in the fridge for ideally 1 hour. You’ll see, it’s much easier to roll out and obtain perfect cookies. Regarding baking, we suggest setting your oven to 170°C or 180°C and baking the cookies for 10 to 20 minutes depending on your oven’s power. Keep a close eye so the cookies are nicely golden without burning!
And as strawberries are back, we take the opportunity to celebrate the beautiful days with this lovely flower made from a strawberry slice and a mint leaf. The result is as beautiful as it is tasty, we guarantee it! To share for tea time, you’ll make the whole family melt. By the way, it’s a super simple recipe to redo with kids who will love getting their hands into the dough.

STRAWBERRY COOKIES 🍓
Makes 12 to 15 cookies
Ingredients :
– 300 g of flour
– 150 g of cold butter
– 100 g of icing sugar
– 1 whole egg + 1 egg yolk
