How to cook deliciously - Strawberry Shortcake Cookies

1. Stage

In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, sugar and salt. Use a pastry blender to cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In another bowl, combine the water and vanilla, then stir it into the crumb mixture until moistened. Refrigerate the dough, covered, until it's firm, one to two hours.

2. Stage

Preheat the oven to 325°F. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough to 1/4-inch thickness, then cut the cookies with a floured 3-inch round cookie cutter. Place the cookies 1 inch apart on greased baking sheets, then bake them until they're lightly browned, 15 to 18 minutes. Let them cool on the baking sheets for two minutes before removing them to wire racks to cool completely.

3. Stage

For the frosting, beat the butter, strawberries and milk until combined. Gradually add the confectioners’ sugar, mixing until blended. Spread the frosting over the cookies, then top with sliced fresh strawberries, if desired.
