Strawberry Cookie
Tyrians don't really go in for elaborate cookie recipes. Most of the cookies you will fine in Tyria are based on the same dough. They might add one or two ingredients to produce different flavours or adjust the proportions slighty. But, by and large, it's essentially the same dough in all of them. So... If you know how to make one of them, you can make pretty any of them.
This particular iteration involves adding strawberries to the basic cookie dough. The recipe that I have records it with strawberries alone being used on top of a plain dough. I stuck to my recipe and made them that way today. And, while I certainly have no problem with the results, I do think that using a sugar cookie dough would be an improvement. The vanilla would go very nicely with the fruit and make them taste a bit more "complete".
1 You won't need anywhere near the full amount of strawberries listed here for the cookies, but it's easier to prepare the larger amount and then simply reserve the rest for another use than trying to mess about with a tiny quantity of strawberries on the stove. Back

Strawberry Cookie
Ingredients
- 450g strawberries1
- 1-2 Tbsp. sugar
- 1 ball of cookie dough or sugar cookie dough (made with 400g flour)
Directions
- Hull and chop the strawberries and toss them with the sugar. Set aside to mascerate while you make the cookie dough.
- Prepare the dough as directed.
- Heat the strawberries over medium heat and continue cooking until they get very soft and break down. Remove from heat.
- Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- Form the cookie dough into small balls (~2.5cm in diameter) and place on the prepared baking sheets.
- Press down firmly in the centre of each ball to form a flattened disc with a large indent in the centre.
- Fill the "thumbprint" in each cookie with ~1/2 tsp. of the cooked strawberries.
- Bake at 180°C (350°F) until cookies are lightly browned on the underside but still soft (~16 minutes).
- Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
