Dough Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (150g) (we use einkorn)
- 6 tbsp butter, room temperature

- 1 pinch salt
- 1 tsp brewed coffee
- 1 tsp vanilla

- 1 egg
Icing
- 2/3 cup powdered sugar
- 3 tbsp butter, room temperature
- 2 tsp milk
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 2 tbsp strawberry jam
- 2 drops all natural red food dye, optional
Instructions
For Icing:
- With an electric mixer, combine powdered sugar, butter, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
- Add food dye, if desired and mix until color is even.
- Add strawberry jam and mix for about 2 minutes to incorporate well. Keep icing at room temperature until cookies are ready to ice.
For Cookies:
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla and beat until well combined.
- Add the remaining ingredients and mix until well combined and there is no white flour visible. You may need to scrape down the sides during this step.
- Form dough into a disc and chill for at least 2 hours or until well firm.
- Roll on a well floured surface to 1/4" thickness and cut into desired shapes. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until browned around the edges.
- If desired, cool on a baking rack completely before icing.
