Ingredients
- 2 sticks of unsalted butter, softened
- 1 ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 egg
- 2 tsp strawberry extract
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- Pink gel coloring
- Pink sprinkles
- White candy melts
Instructions
- In an electric mixer, beat together butter and sugar. Using a separate bowl, combine the egg with the strawberry and vanilla extracts. Beat together then pour into the butter/sugar mix. Mix well.
- Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt in a separate bowl. Slowly add it, ½ cup at a time, to the mixer until fully combined. Now you should have a nice dough. It shouldn’t be too sticky, so add more flour if it sticks to your finger when pressing it.

- Roll the dough out into a log, and then cut it into three sections.

- Roll each section into a ball then poke your fingers in to create a small hole. Add your gel coloring a little at a time until you achieve a color you like.

- I chose three different shades of pink. Wrap each ball in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for about 1 hour.

- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment. Roll the dough into approx. 1.5” balls, then press a candy melt into the center of each ball. Next roll them back up into balls (with the candy melt inside).

- Pour your various pink sprinkles into small bowls and coat each ball with a good layer, then place it back onto the baking sheet.

- Once all the balls are sprinkled, use the bottom of a pint glass to press the cookies down into a round disk.
