What Ingredients Are in Strawberry Pie Cookies?
- Butter: Provides a rich, creamy base for the strawberry pie cookie recipe dough, ensuring a tender texture.
- Vanilla Extract: Adds a warm, aromatic flavor that enhances the overall sweetness of the chewy sugar cookie.
- All-Purpose Flour: Forms the structure of the cookies, giving them their shape and crumbly texture.

- Strawberry Pie Filling: The easiest way to add a delicious strawberry glaze to each cookie.

Pro Tip: Ensure your butter is at room temperature to achieve the perfect consistency for beating and mixing. This will help create a light and fluffy dough.
How to Make Strawberry Pie Cookies:
- Beat the butter until fluffy in a large bowl over medium speed, then mix in the vanilla. Add dry ingredients, and beat until a dough forms.
- Roll the sugar cookie dough into 1.5-2 inch balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Use your thumb or the back of a tablespoon to make an indentation in the center of each dough ball.
- Spoon strawberry mixture into each mini sugar cookie cup, repeat with remaining dough.
- Bake cookies until sugar cookie crust is golden brown. Let them cool slightly before transferring in a single layer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Pro Tip: When melting the white chocolate, do so in short intervals to avoid overheating and burning it.
