Step-by-Step Instructions

  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.
  3. Gradually add vegetable oil and powdered sugar until smooth.
  4. Mix in cream of tartar, baking soda, vanilla extract, and the egg until well combined.
  5. Gradually add all-purpose flour while mixing on low speed until the dough is soft yet slightly tacky.
  6. Divide the dough into three equal parts.
  7. Color one part with crushed freeze-dried strawberries, the second with black cocoa powder, and leave the third plain.
  8. Chill the dough for about 30 minutes if it feels too soft and sticky.
  9. Shape the cookie dough by combining one ball from each flavor and gently pressing them together.
