While the cookies are chilling, process or blend one 0.8–1.2-oz. (If the dough is sticking to your thumb, spray with a little nonstick vegetable oil spray.) Chill cookies in freezer 15 minutes. Divide between 2 parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing 2' apart (you should have 12 cookies per baking sheet in a 4x3 grid.) Press the tip of your thumb vertically into the center of each dough ball to create a ½'-diameter indent. Using a #40 cookie scoop (1½ Tbsp.), portion out dough and roll into smooth balls. Add 2⅓ cups (292 g) all-purpose flour and mix on low speed until a soft dough forms and there are no dry pockets of flour left, about 1 minute. Add 2 large egg yolks and beat until pale and fluffy, 1–2 minutes.

Morton kosher salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment on medium-high speed, scraping down sides of bowl as needed, until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.

Beat 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature, 1 cup (110 g) powdered sugar, 1 Tbsp. Place racks in upper and lower thirds of oven preheat to 350°. Just about any combo will taste good, so don’t be afraid to let your imagination run wild. If an eclectic array of cookies is more your speed, use a combination of fruits and jams to create a true tutti-fruitti result. If a monochromatic cookie is what you’re after, use freeze-dried strawberries paired with strawberry jam. You can use whatever freeze-dried fruit you desire to tint and flavor the cookies a vast kaleidoscope of colors, and mix and match the fruit filling however you please. The true beauty of this recipe lies in its endless adaptability. Each indent gets filled with a fruit filling of your choice for a plate of festive cookies bursting with sweet-tart flavor. Once baked, the cookies are tossed in a mixture of freeze-dried fruit pulverized with granulated sugar, coating the outsides in a fun blanket of fruity flavor. Tender shortbread-like dough flavored with a generous amount of lemon zest and vanilla extract gets rolled into balls, then dimpled with a thumb to create small indents. These Technicolor cookies are the perfect way to punch up your cookie plate.
