Print Recipe

Soft, chewy vegan cookies bursting with fresh strawberry flavor, perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup chopped fresh strawberries (or frozen, thawed)
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • ½ cup vegan butter (softened)
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup cooled strawberry syrup
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch + 2 tbsp water (egg replacement)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1½ cups gluten-free flour (with xanthan gum)
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • Optional: Red or pink food coloring
  • Extra sugar for rolling

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine chopped strawberries and 2 tbsp sugar. Let them simmer for 10–12 minutes until thickened.
  2. Gently mash the strawberries, then strain the mixture through a fine sieve and let the syrup cool.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened vegan butter and ¾ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add the cooled strawberry syrup, cornstarch-water mix, and vanilla extract. Stir to combine.
  5. In a medium bowl, whisk together gluten-free flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add to the wet mixture until a thick dough forms.
  6. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 2½ hours.
  7. Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  8. Scoop 1.5 tbsp of dough, roll into balls, roll in extra sugar, and place on the baking sheet.
  9. Bake for 14–16 minutes until edges are set and tops are crackled. Cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

Chilling the dough is crucial for preventing flat cookies. Feel free to customize with different fruits or add-ins.
