## How to Make (Step-by-Step)

### STEP 1

First, position the racks in the top and bottom thirds of your oven and preheat it to 350°F. Line two large rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper. As simple as that!

### STEP 2

In a mixing bowl, beat together the **sugar**, **butter**, **egg**, **vanilla extract**, and **salt** with an electric mixer until it becomes fluffy. This part requires some patience, but boy, is it worth it!

### STEP 3

Slowly beat in the **flour** until you have a cohesive dough. It should look dreamy, not gloopy.

### STEP 4

Take about a level tablespoon of the dough and shape it into a ball. Roll each ball in **powdered sugar**, then place them on the lined baking sheets. Don’t forget: Press each lightly with the flat-bottom of a cup for that perfect shape.

### STEP 5

Sprinkle more powdered sugar over each cookie and press down again to create thin, round shapes about 3¼ inches across. Bake the cookies for about 8 minutes.

### STEP 6

Now, here’s the fun part! Reverse the sheets and bake until golden at the edges—approximately 9 minutes more. The sweet aroma of cookies baking will fill your kitchen, but remember to resist the urge to snitch an unglazed cookie!

### STEP 7

While the cookies cool, combine the **powdered sugar** and **freeze-dried strawberries** in a food processor. Process for about a minute until the strawberries are finely powdered.

### STEP 8

Pour this mixture into a bowl, add the **milk**, and stir until it’s smooth. If the glaze is too thick, add more milk a teeny bit at a time. If it’s too thin, just toss in more powdered sugar.

### STEP 9

Once your cookies have cooled, place about a teaspoon of icing in the center of each cookie and spread it to the edges. Then, let those beauties dry on a cooling rack for at least one hour.

## Pro Tips for the Best Results

- **Use Room Temperature Ingredients**: This is key for nice, fluffy cookies!
- **Don’t Overmix**: When you add flour, mix just until combined to avoid tough cookies.
- **Experiment with Glaze**: Add a hint of lemon juice for a tangy twist.
- **Chill Your Dough**: If it’s too sticky, pop it in the fridge for 30 minutes before shaping.

## Fun Variations & Topping Ideas

### Variations:

- **Nutty Bliss**: Add chopped walnuts or pecans into the dough for a delightful crunch.
- **Chocolate Lovers**: Mix in mini chocolate chips or drizzle melted chocolate on top of the glaze.

### Toppings:

- **Sprinkles**: Who doesn’t love a little color? Add rainbow sprinkles for extra fun!
- **Fresh Fruit**: Top with slivers of fresh strawberries or raspberries for a fresh bite.

## Storing and Reheating

### Storing:

Keep these cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week (if they last that long). For longer storage, toss them in the freezer.

### Reheating:

If you want that fresh-baked taste again, warm them in the oven briefly or zap them in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds.

## Leftover Ideas

If you have leftover strawberries from the glaze, try making a simple strawberry butter to slather on toast or pancakes. If you need a new breakfast game, consider adding the ingredients from [strawberry butter](https://www.crumbrecipes.com/crockpot-strawberry-butter/)
 to your morning routine!

## Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

### What can I substitute for freeze-dried strawberries?

You can use fresh strawberries, but remember to adjust the recipe since fresh ones have more moisture. Simply puree and reduce the amount of milk accordingly.
