These Strawberry Pop Tart Sugar Cookies are soft, buttery sugar cookies topped with a fruity strawberry glaze and colorful sprinkles — a nostalgic twist on a classic childhood treat.

Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1–2 tbsp milk (as needed)

For the strawberry glaze:

  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp freeze-dried strawberries, crushed into powder
  • 2–3 tbsp milk or cream
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 drop pink food coloring (optional)

Toppings:

  • Rainbow sprinkles
  • Extra crushed freeze-dried strawberries (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla.
  4. Gradually mix in dry ingredients. Add milk if dough is too dry.
  5. Scoop dough into balls, flatten slightly, and place on prepared baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until edges are just set. Cool completely before glazing.
  7. For the glaze: whisk powdered sugar, strawberry powder, milk, vanilla, and food coloring (if using) until smooth.
  8. Spoon or drizzle glaze over cooled cookies. Add sprinkles while glaze is wet.
  9. Let glaze set at room temperature for 20–30 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Chill dough for 15–20 minutes if too sticky.
  • Crush freeze-dried strawberries with a rolling pin or food processor.
  • Use raspberry or blueberry powder for flavor variations.
  • Add a dab of jam in the center before baking for a pop tart effect.
  • Store unglazed cookies in the freezer and glaze after thawing.
