I was so proud of myself for making these as natural as possible (besides the clearly unnaturally colors sprinkles). You see, I used pulverized freeze dried strawberries instead of using extract and/or food coloring to get a pretty pastel pink cookie dough color.
And then I baked them.
Turns out, freeze dried strawberries do not retain their color when baked. Add that tidbit of mostly useless information to you brain. Because as you can see these cookies look more like a grayish purple than pink. Thankfully, purple-ish colors also work for Valentine’s Day. And once you dip it in chocolate and add sprinkles no one will notice.
Of course, feel free to add strawberry extract and/or food coloring if you would prefer a more pink color.
And in the end these cookies really do taste just like a chocolate covered strawberries. They may not have retained the color but did retain the flavor of strawberries!
The flavor was inspired by one of my favorite local treats, J-POPS chocolate covered strawberry ice pops. I am actually giving away a dozen of these babies along with 6 of those ice pops to one of my Columbus-area followers! So if you’re in the area, head over to my Instagram post to enter.
Otherwise, guess that means you should be adding these ingredients to your grocery list to make this weekend ;-).
