Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Dough
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon strawberry lemonade flavoring or extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and strawberry lemonade flavoring, mixing well to combine. Gradually add the all-purpose flour and salt, mixing slowly until a soft dough forms.
- Shape the Cookies: Using your hands or a small cookie scoop, shape the dough into small balls, approximately 1 inch in diameter. Place them evenly spaced on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake the Cookies: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the cookies for about 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers remain soft. The cookies should look pale and delicate.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy their melt-in-your-mouth texture and refreshing flavor.
Notes
- Ensure butter is softened to room temperature for easy mixing.
- Use high-quality strawberry lemonade flavoring or extract for the best taste.
- Do not overbake; cookies should remain soft inside.
- Store cookies in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
