Ingredients
  

1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

2 tablespoons granulated sugar (for macarating strawberries)

1 teaspoon lemon juice

1 cup heavy whipping cream

3 tablespoons powdered sugar (for whipped cream)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for whipped cream)

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature

1/3 cup granulated sugar (for cookies)

1 large egg

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (for cookies)

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

Instructions
 

Prepare the Strawberry Filling: In a medium bowl, toss together the sliced strawberries with 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar and the lemon juice. Allow the mixture to sit for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. This step will draw out the natural juices, enhancing the strawberry flavor and creating a delicious syrup.

    Make the Cookies: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the softened butter and 1/3 cup of granulated sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and the 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract until everything is well combined.

      Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until they are evenly mixed.

        Mix Together: Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can affect the texture of the cookies.

          Shape the Cookies: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a small cookie scoop or a tablespoon, drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Gently flatten each mound with your fingers or the back of a spoon to form disks. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Once baked, allow the cookies to cool completely on a wire rack.

            Prepare Whipped Cream: While your cookies cool, make the whipped cream. In a large mixing bowl, combine the heavy whipping cream, 3 tablespoons of powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Using an electric mixer, beat on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, indicating the cream is whipped and light.

              Assemble the Sandwich Coins: After the cookies have cooled, take one cookie and spoon a generous dollop of the whipped cream on top. Add a spoonful of the macerated strawberries, allowing some of the lovely syrup to drizzle down. Place a second cookie on top to create a sandwich. Repeat this process with the remaining cookies until all are assembled.

                Freeze and Serve: Arrange the completed cookie sandwiches on a baking sheet and place them in the freezer for at least 1 hour to set and firm up. Once frozen, they can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks. Enjoy these delightful treats straight from the freezer for a refreshing dessert!
