Ingredients

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened

1 cup granulated sugar

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon almond extract (optional)

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup strawberry puree (fresh or frozen, thawed)

Pink food coloring (optional, to enhance color)

Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)

Directions

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

Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).

Add Egg and Extracts: Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract (if using) until well combined.

Prepare Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Stir in the strawberry puree. If desired, add a few drops of pink food coloring to achieve your desired shade.

Scoop the Dough: Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Bake: Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops are lightly golden. The centers should still look slightly underbaked.

Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Dust with Powdered Sugar: Once cooled, you can dust the cookies with powdered sugar for a lovely finish.

Enjoy: Serve these delicious pink strawberry sugar cookies at parties, as gifts, or just for a sweet treat!
