  • 1 tablespoon corn starch
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice (5ml)

For the Butter Cookies:

  • 1/2 cup (71g) plain flour
  • 2 tablespoons (25g) white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon (15g) tightly packed light brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons (42g) melted and cooled salted butter (or add a pinch of salt if using unsalted butter)
  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup (100g) white sugar, plus a bit more for rolling
  • 1/4 cup (55g) tightly packed light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon (5ml) vanilla essence
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 1/3 cups plus 1 tablespoon (200g) plain flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (60g) icing sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla essence
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) heavy cream (35% fat)
  • Milk to adjust to a thick, opaque white glaze consistency

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Strawberry Topping: In a saucepan, combine chopped strawberries, white sugar, corn starch, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat until thickened. Set aside to cool.
  2. Make the Butter Cookies: Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). In a bowl, cream softened butter with white sugar and brown sugar. Add vanilla essence and egg, then mix in flour, bicarbonate of soda, baking soda, and salt. Shape dough into balls, roll in sugar, and flatten on a baking sheet. Bake for about 10-12 minutes.
  3. Prepare the Glaze: Mix icing sugar, vanilla essence, and heavy cream. Add milk gradually until reaching a glaze consistency.
  4. Assemble: Once cookies are cooled, top each with a spoonful of strawberry topping and drizzle with glaze.
