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 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Begin by creating the cornstarch slurry. Mix cold water and cornstarch until a cloudy paste forms, then set aside.
- Chop the strawberries into small pieces and place them in a saucepan. Add sugar and lemon juice.
- Cook over low heat for 2-3 minutes until the sugar dissolves and the strawberries soften.
- Add the cornstarch slurry to the saucepan, stirring continuously and bringing the mixture to a simmer.
- Cook until the filling is thick and glossy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Remove from heat and transfer the filling to a bowl. Allow it to cool in the fridge while preparing the cookie dough.
Notes
For an extra touch, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon to the dough for flavor.
Ensure that the strawberries are fresh for the best taste and texture.
If the filling is too thick, you can add a little more water while cooking.
