Instructions

Add the strawberries and butter to a food processor or blender. Blend until well combined. I have also made these simply by hand mixing and crushing the freeze-dried strawberries. Either method will work.
Next, add in the gluten-free flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and egg. This is when you should add in your pitaya powder or food coloring extracts. If not using, simply omit.
If your dough is a bit too sticky, add a bit more flour to ensure the cookie dough is tacky, but not too sticky to the touch. Cover your dough and place in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Next, you want to scoop out cookie sized balls of dough. You can either make 6 large sugar cookies or 9 medium sized cookies. Place a piece of dark chocolate inside each cookie.
Here's where you can either roll your balls in sugar or sprinkle the sugar over top after rolling. I prefer to sprinkle over the tops of the cookies.
Arrange them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving 2 inches between each cookie. I love to sprinkle colored sugar over top before baking.
Bake cookies for 15 minutes. Keep an eye on them, if they start to brown on the edge, pull them out of the oven. Let cool on a wire rack, while you prepare the melted chocolate topping.
Melt your white chocolate chips in the microwave or in a water bath on the stove. Stir completely.
Drizzle the melted white chocolate right over the top of each cookie. Enjoy.
