- 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
- Prepare the cornstarch slurry by combining the cold water and cornstarch in a bowl until a cloudy mixture forms. Set aside.
- Chop the strawberries into small pieces and place them in a saucepan with cane sugar and lemon juice.
- Mix well and cook over low heat for 2-3 minutes until the sugar dissolves and the strawberries soften.
- Stir in the cornstarch slurry and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
- Continue cooking while stirring until the filling thickens and becomes glossy (about 2-3 minutes).
- Remove from heat, pour the filling into a bowl, and refrigerate until cool while preparing the cookie dough.
Notes
Ensure the strawberries are ripe for the best flavor.
You can substitute the flax egg with a regular egg if not strictly vegan.
Chilling the filling enhances the cookie texture.
