Baking sheet

Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter softened
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1 egg
2 teaspoons strawberry extract
2 teaspoons champagne extract
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 3/4 cups all purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
pink food coloring as needed
pink sugar sprinkles for rolling the cookie dough

Instructions

To make your own champagne extract, add 1 cup of sparkling wine to a small saucepan and heat until boiling. Continue cooking until reduced by half, then set aside to cool. (If using store-bought extract, skip this step).
Using a standing mixer or electric hand mixer, beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Continue mixing, adding the egg, strawberry extract, champagne extract and vanilla extract until combined.
In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt.
Gradually pour dry ingredients into your bowl of wet ingredients, mixing as you go.
Finally, add a few drops of pink food coloring until your batter is the desired color.
Cover the dough with plastic wrap and place into the fridge for one hour.
When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350°F.
Pour pink sprinkles into a small bowl.
Using a medium cookie scooper, portion out the dough.
Roll each ball of dough in the bowl of sprinkles.
Place dough balls onto a prepared cookie sheet and bake for 9-10 minutes.
Allow to cool completely before enjoying.

Make Your Own Champagne Extract:

If you can't find champagne extract at the store, don't want to wait to order it, or want a little boozy cookies, you can use real sparkling wine to make your own extract.

1. Pour champagne into a medium sauce pan.

1. Heat the champagne to a boil, stirring occasionally, until the liquid reduces by half.

1. Allow to cool completely before adding to cookie batter.

You only need 2 teaspoons of champagne extract for the recipe, but you may want to start with a cup of champagne when making your own extract. That way after reducing by half, you will have more than enough for the recipe, which is better than not having enough. Then you can add to the cookie dough, to taste (as homemade may have a different flavor strength than store-bought extract).
