Ingredients For Funsnax Strawberry Cookies

We want to use the freshest ingredients, with any delicious cake, so Funsnax frosted strawberry cookies​ are no exception.

You can use freeze-dried strawberries for a chewy texture.

• 1/2 cup strawberry jam
• 1/2 cup white chocolate chips (optional)

How To Make Funsnax Strawberry Cookies?

I have tried many complicated recipes for Funsnax frosted strawberry cookies​ before. Now, I have come up with a short recipe with 7 simple steps. My favorite step is to frost these cookies and see how beautiful they are!

Step 1: Prepare the Strawberries

Wash and dry the strawberries. Chop them into small pieces and set aside. For extra flavor, you can mash some of the strawberries lightly.

Step 2: Mix the dry ingredients

In a medium bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together. In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar with a mixer. Continue until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 3: Add the wet ingredients

Beat in the eggs one at a time. Then mix in the vanilla extract and strawberry jam. You can add red food coloring, and add a few drops at this stage to achieve the desired color.

Step 4: Mix the wet and dry ingredients

Add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients slowly. Overmix can make the Funsnax cookies tough. If you are using chopped strawberries and white chocolate chips, add them at this stage. Finally, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 5: Scoop and Bake

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Use a cookie scoop to drop balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden and the center is set.

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to finish cooling completely.

Step 6: Funsnax Strawberry Frosted

Use a blender or food processor to grind the freeze-dried strawberries into a fine powder. Set it aside. Beat the butter on medium speed until creamy, about 2 minutes.

Add the powdered sugar, vanilla, milk or cream, and salt with the mixer on low. Then, add the strawberry powder. Increase the mixer speed to medium and beat until completely smooth, about 3 minutes.

Step 7: Frosting the Cookies

Use a small offset spatula to spread the strawberry buttercream onto each one when the Funsnax cookies have cooled completely. For extra flavor and presentation, top the frosted cookies with a little more strawberry powder and fresh strawberry slices.

Olivia’s Helpful Tips

One of the helpful tips for the Funsnax strawberry frosted cookies recipe is the ingredient selection step. You should make sure to choose juicy, bright red strawberries. 

You should not overmix the dough. This will make your cookies a bit chewy. When the dough is perfectly mixed and ready to bake, you should not skip the chilling step. Dough chilling is the key to keeping the cookies perfectly shaped without spreading into one big lump.

For storing, Funsnax strawberry frosted cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. Moreover, you can also freeze some of the dough so you can bake fresh cookies whenever you crave them!

What Are Ingredient Substitutes? 

Baking is a blast, but sometimes you might run out of an ingredient or need to tweak the recipe for dietary reasons. Thankfully, the substitutes will still make your Funsnax frosted strawberry cookies​ tasty.

All-purpose flour	Almond flour: Almond adds a slightly nutty flavor and a tender texture  Oat flour: My favorite cookie recipe made with this flour is the Oatmeal cookie recipe no brown sugar, the cookies may be chewier Coconut flour: 1/4 to 1/3 cup coconut flour and add an egg to maintain the right consistency.
Butter	Coconut Oil: The cookies will be a little more crumbly Vegetable Fat: Adding a pinch of salt for extra flavor
Egg	Flaxseed meal: Mix 1 tablespoon flaxseed meal with 3 tablespoons water to replace one egg. This option will add a bit of nutty flavor and increase the fiber content. Chia seeds: Similar to flaxseed, mix 1 tablespoon chia seeds with 3 tablespoons of water for each egg. This will create a gel-like consistency that acts as a binder. Applesauce: Use 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce to replace one egg. It adds moisture and a mild apple flavor, making for softer cookies. Banana: Mash 1/2 of a ripe banana as a substitute for one egg. This will add sweetness and a hint of banana flavor, which can complement the strawberries.

What Can Funsnax Strawberry Cookies Be Served With?

A safe first choice is to pair Funsnax strawberry cookies with drinks. The creamy texture of milk balances the sweet and tart flavors of the cookies. Strawberry-flavored milk will help double the strawberry flavor.

But older people may not like eating Funsnax strawberry cookies with milk. Herbal teas, chamomile, or mint can be a great choice.

In addition, cappuccinos and lattes are common pairings. Every morning, I usually treat myself to a little vanilla frappé with my cookies. You can consider pairing cookies with sliced ​​strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries. This can be a fun snack.

In addition, Greek yogurt mix with a little honey and a dash of vanilla extract can create a simple yet delicious dip. This pairs wonderfully with cookies and adds a creamy texture to the experience.
