Strawberry Pastries 🍓🤍

The best part might actually be the frosting. 😂
Flaky strawberry pastries finished with a generous drizzle of frosting because I’m definitely not here for a barely-there glaze. Sweet, buttery, a little messy…and exactly how a homemade pastry should be.

Now the real question: are you waiting for the frosting to set or eating one immediately? Because I already know my answer. 😂🍓

Recipe • 2 tbsp pumpkin purée • 1 tbsp sweetened condensed milk • 1 tbsp dark brown sugar • Dash of pumpkin pie spice • Dash of vanilla • Double espresso • 7 oz frothed milk

If pumpkin is on the menu, I'm ordering it. ☕🎃

The brown butter wasn't optional.

Everything else was just a bonus. 🤎🍪✨

I used the amazing chocolate chip cookie recipe from **@BromaBakery** and made a couple of tweaks that were so worth it:
• Swapped in **dark brown sugar**
• Doubled the vanilla (2 tbsp instead of 1)
• Used **dark chocolate** instead of semisweet
• Folded in **red, white & blue M&M's**

Brown butter + dark brown sugar is the dream combination. 🤍

I'm linking everything I used—from my baking tools to my favorite ingredients—here on LTK. If you make these, let me know what mix-ins you'd add!

• Dash of vanilla bean paste
• Dash of cinnamon
