These cookies are the taste of spring. And, lo! What icing! Freeze-dried strawberry powder is the secret ingredient and makes for a deeeeeeeep, pure strawberry-flavored frosting.
Fantastic recipe, and you're right about the greatness of freeze-dried fruit, especially when it's powdered. I keep all kinds in the freezer and add powdered sour cherries to sour cherry pie, powdered peaches to peach pie, etc. It strengthens the flavor and helps keep the filling from getting gloppy.
I skipped icing (lazy), doubled the strawberry powder in the dough instead. Perfect balance of sweetness and acidity. Yumm!
Thank you!
