Vegan Strawberry Shortcake Cookies
  1. Prepare: Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Line 2 baking trays or cookie sheets with parchment paper and set aside. Sift the flour baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl and set aside.

  2. Mix the wet ingredients: Add the butter and sugar to a large bowl and use an electric whisk or stand mixer for 2-3 minutes until light and airy. Add the vegan yogurt and vanilla and whisk again until combined.

  3. Mix the dry ingredients: Add the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt to the bowl and fold it in using a spatula.

  4. Add strawberries: Crush the freeze-dried strawberries between your fingers (or roughly chop them with a knife and fold them into the cookie dough.Lastly, fold in the fresh strawberries.

  5. Chill the dough: Cover the bowl of cookie dough and place it in the fridge for at least 15-30 minutes. You can also leave it chill overnight if you wish.

  6. Make the crumble: Add the sugar, flour, and butter to a medium bowl. Rub the butter into the dry ingredients until it resembles a crumb consistency. Set aside in the fridge.

  7. Assemble: Use a 2"/5cm cookie scoop or ice cream scoop to separate the dough into 10 portions (or 12 smaller cookies if preferred). Place the cookie dough balls on the lined sheets - be careful to leave at least 2.5 inches of space between each ball of dough as they will spread whilst baking!

  8. Press some shortcake crumble on top of each cookie.

  9. Bake: Bake the cookies for 12-14 minutes, then remove them from the oven and round off the edges using a large cookie cutter. (This step is important to get a nice round shape as pictured, otherwise the cookies will be large and flat).Allow the cookies to cool on the baking tray for 5-10 minutes.

  10. Storage: Once cool, transfer the cookies to an airtight container. You can keep them out at room temperature for a day but after that I prefer to store them in the fridge (up to 4 days) due to the fresh fruit content.You can freeze them in an airtight container or in a freezer bag for up to a month. Just separate each cookie with a piece of parchment to prevent them from sticking to each other.
