Method
 

Baking Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the room-temperature butter and granulated sugar on medium speed for 3-4 minutes.
  3. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture and beat until smooth, about 1-2 minutes.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually mix this into the wet ingredients until just combined.
  5. Gently fold in the finely crushed freeze-dried strawberries.
  6. Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the baking sheet, spaced 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden and centers might be slightly soft.
  8. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Always use room temperature butter for optimal mixing. Avoid overmixing to keep cookies tender. Uniform dough sizes ensure even baking. Chill dough if it's too soft, and store cookies in an airtight container.
