Ridiculously Easy Strawberry Lemonade Meltaway Cookies

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup cornstarch
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup powdered sugar, plus extra for dusting
• 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon lemon zest
• 1 cup fresh strawberries, pureed
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt.
3. In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and powdered sugar together using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
4. Add the fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, strawberry puree, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Mix on low speed until well combined.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined.
6. Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are just starting to turn a light golden brown.
8. Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Once cooled, dust the cookies lightly with additional powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness.
