Ingredients
Scale
- 3 tablespoons water
- ½ tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 cup chopped strawberries
- 2 tablespoons cane sugar
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- ½ cup vegan butter
- ½ cup + 2 tablespoons cane sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons water)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 6 tablespoons ground graham crackers
- ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prepare the cornstarch slurry by combining the water and cornstarch in a bowl until a paste forms. Set aside.
- Chop the strawberries into small pieces and place them in a saucepan with the sugar and lemon juice.
- Stir the mixture and cook over low heat for 2-3 minutes until the sugar dissolves and the strawberries soften.
- Add the cornstarch slurry to the saucepan, stir, and bring to a simmer.
- Continue cooking until the mixture thickens and becomes glossy, around 2-3 minutes.
- Remove the filling from heat and transfer it to a bowl. Cool it in the fridge while making the cookie dough.
Notes
For a richer flavor, use vanilla bean paste instead of extract.
Make sure to chill the strawberry filling for best results.
Cookies can be rolled in sugar before baking for added sweetness.
