I’ve had my eye out for something special to make for Valentine’s Day this year. When I spotted this recipe for Strawberry Sprinkle Cookies, I couldn’t resist giving it a try. Not only are these cookies PINK, but they’re also strawberry flavored with a white chocolate center!

Adapted from Make. Bake. Celebrate.
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.
[/url]- Roll the dough out into a log, and then cut it into three sections.
[/url]- 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.
[/url]- I chose three different shades of pink. Wrap each ball in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for about 1 hour.
[/url]- 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).
[/url]- Pour your various pink sprinkles into small bowls and coat each ball with a good layer, then place it back onto the baking sheet.
[/url]- Once all the balls are sprinkled, use the bottom of a pint glass to press the cookies down into a round disk.
[/url]- Bake at 350 degrees for 9 minutes. Transfer to wire racks to cool. Makes approx. 2-dozen.
