How to Make Strawberry Shortcake Fudge Striped Cookies
Make the Cookie Dough
In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, cassava flour, and sugar. Add the maple syrup, shortening, and vanilla, stirring until the dough comes together.
Bake the Cookies
Transfer the cookies to your prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-14 minutes, checking them at the 10-minute mark. The cookies should remain light in color, so remove them before they begin to brown. Cool the cookies completely on a wire rack.
Prepare the Strawberry Fudge Layer
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips and coconut oil in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Mix in the strawberry powder or blended freeze-dried strawberries until fully combined.
