Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups almond flour
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- ¼ cup chopped pistachios (for garnish)
How to Make Strawberry Cream Sandwich Cookies
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, whisk together the almond flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, mixing until fully incorporated.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until a soft dough forms.
- Using a tablespoon, scoop out the dough and roll it into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space for spreading.
- Flatten each ball slightly with the palm of your hand and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden. Allow to cool completely on a wire rack.
- While the cookies cool, prepare the cream filling. In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gradually add the powdered sugar and continue whipping until stiff peaks form.
- Once the cookies are cool, spread a generous dollop of whipped cream on the flat side of one cookie and top with a few strawberry slices. Place another cookie on top to create a sandwich.
- Repeat until all cookies are filled. Garnish with chopped pistachios for an added crunch.
Tips for the Best Results
- Make sure your butter is at room temperature for easy mixing.
- Don’t overbake the cookies; they should be slightly soft in the center when you take them out.
- Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor.
- For added flair, drizzle some melted chocolate over the finished cookies.
Easy Variations
- Swap out strawberries for other berries like raspberries or blueberries.
- Add a splash of almond extract to the cream for an extra nutty flavor.
- Incorporate citrus zest, such as lemon or orange, into the cream for a refreshing twist.
What to Serve With It
- A cup of hot coffee or tea to complement the sweetness.
- A scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent dessert.
- Fresh fruit salad for a light, refreshing side.
