Preparation of Strawberry Reduction

Making the Cookie Dough

  2. Add the strawberry reduction and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.
  3. Gradually add the flour, baking soda, and salt until a dough forms.
  4. Incorporate pink food coloring if desired for a more vibrant color.
Baking the Cookies
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Scoop tablespoon-sized amounts of dough onto a lined baking sheet, spacing them evenly apart.
  3. Flatten each cookie slightly and sprinkle with granulated sugar.
  4. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are golden.
  5. Let the cookies cool on a wire rack before serving.
