Strawberry Frosting
ingredients
- 2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 3/4 cup freeze dried strawberries, ground into a powder
- 1/4 cup milk or cream
Method
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Line 2 cookie trays with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large bowl with a hand mixer or in the bowl of your stand mixer cream together the butter and sugar. Add vanilla, almond extract, egg, and yogurt. Mix to combine.
Step 3
Sift the matcha powder into the mixture.
Step 4
Add baking soda, baking powder, salt, and flour. Mix to form a dough.
Step 5
Use an ice cream scoop (mine is 2 tbsp) to scoop out the cookies. Spread out the scoops between the two trays.
Step 6
Add the 3 tbsp granulated sugar into a small bowl and roll each cookie scoop in the sugar.
Step 7
Bake the cookies for 13-15 minutes or until they have crinkly tops and the edges start to firm up.
Step 8
To make the frosting, whip together the butter, vanilla, and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment.
Step 9
Add the powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time. Add the 1/4 cup of milk or cream as needed to smooth out the frosting.
Step 10
Once all of the powdered sugar has been added and your frosting reaches a smooth consistency, mix in the freeze dried strawberry powder.
Step 11
Transfer the strawberry frosting into a piping bag. Once the cookies are finished baking and cooling, top each one with a swirl of the frosting. Use a spoon to create a swoop through the middle of each swirl. Top with extra crushed freeze dried strawberries if you would like. Enjoy!
