SUGAR STRAWBERRIES

Steps:

• Cut strawberries in half and place in a bowl.
• Pour the sugar on top of the strawberries.
• Refrigerate for about one hour or until juicy.

SWEET SOUTHERN SUGARED STRAWBERRIES (STRAWBERRY TOPPING)

Steps:

• You will need a tupperware type container with a lid.
• First, slice as many strawberries as you would like and place them in the container.
• Then add as much sugar as you wish.
• The more sugar makes more syrup.
• I usually add enough to fully coat the strawberries.
• Now put the lid on the container and tumble the strawberries for a minute so they can get saturated in the sugar.
• Now refrigerate the container for a couple of hours, and you will have the tastiest, sweetest strawberries in their own syrup.
• (I usually leave them in the refrigerator over night).

CHEWY STRAWBERRY SUGAR COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Beat 1 1/2 cups white sugar and butter together in a bowl with an electric mixer until creamy, about 3 minutes. Beat egg into butter mixture. Add strawberry puree.
• Stir flour, vanilla extract, baking powder, and salt into strawberry mixture with a spoon until flour is completely incorporated into dough.
• Stir 1/2 cup white sugar and red sugar together in a shallow bowl.
• Roll dough into walnut-sized balls, roll each ball in red sugar mixture, and place each ball 1 1/2 inches apart onto prepared baking sheets. Lightly press each dough ball down to flatten.
• Bake cookies in the preheated oven until lightly browned, 10 to 15 minutes. Cool.
