Strawberry Crinkle Cookies

These crinkles cookies came about as I've been wanting to make them for awhile now.  Here is my version of the strawberry crinkle cookies.  I used Queen Fine Foods Strawberry and Cream flavouring for added flavour.

I noticed that a lot of the recipes used cake mix and I love to bake from scratch and opted to not use cake mix but instead add a flavouring instead.

These Strawberry and Cream Crinkle Cookies taste like a fluffy cake with a hint of strawberry flavour.  These cookies have a sweet and crunchy outside with a soft cake-like centre.  You can also make them in other flavours such as chocolate, lemon or red velvet.

I love that they have the cute crinkle tops on them.

Ingredients

· 115 grams unsalted butter

· A few drops food colouring (if desired: electric pink – americolor)

Instructions

1. Line two trays with baking paper.

2. Place butter and caster sugar into a bowl and using an electric beater, cream until mixture is light and fluffy.

3. Add egg, strawberry & cream flavouring and a few drops of food colouring. Mix until combined.

7. Bake for 12–14 minutes and remove from oven and allow the cookies to cool on the tray.

· Don’t have too many cookie balls on one tray as they do spread a little during baking.
· Best to use softened butter and room temperature egg.
