Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1/4 cup strawberry puree (fresh or frozen)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
- Step 3: Gradually add in the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, and salt, mixing until just combined.
- Step 4: Gently fold in the lemon zest, strawberry puree, and fresh lemon juice until the mixture is smooth.
- Step 5: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Notes
- For optimal freshness, store your Strawberry Lemonade Melt Away Cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
- If you prefer them warm, gently reheat the cookies in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds, just until they are slightly warmed through but not hot.
- These cookies pair perfectly with a tall glass of iced tea or lemonade, making them a delightful treat for summer gatherings or picnics.
- For an extra burst of flavor, consider adding some finely chopped fresh strawberries into the dough along with the puree for added texture and sweetness.
