Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
  3. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the mixture and beat until fully combined, about 1-2 minutes.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt, then gradually add to the wet ingredients.
  5. Gently fold in the pureed strawberries using a spatula until evenly distributed.
  6. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
  7. Roll the chilled dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and roll each in sparkling strawberry sugar.
  8. Place on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart, and bake for 10-12 minutes until lightly golden at the edges.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Once cooled, serve and enjoy your delightful Strawberry Sugar Cookies with Sparkling Strawberry Sugar!
