Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Flavoring

  • 3 tablespoons freeze-dried strawberry powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening agent and salt.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar using an electric mixer or by hand until the mixture becomes light and fluffy, which incorporates air for a tender texture.
  4. Add Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the large egg and vanilla extract into the creamed butter and sugar until fully incorporated, enhancing the flavor and structure of the cookie dough.
  5. Combine Dry and Wet: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined to avoid overworking the dough which can make cookies tough.
  6. Add Strawberry Powder: Gently fold in the freeze-dried strawberry powder, ensuring the dough has an even light pink color and strawberry flavor distributed throughout.
  7. Shape Cookies: Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
  8. Flatten Dough Balls: Slightly flatten each ball using the bottom of a glass to encourage even baking and a uniform shape.
  9. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges turn lightly golden, indicating doneness while keeping the center soft.
  10. Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes to set before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely, ensuring they firm up and retain their texture.

Notes

  • For a more intense strawberry flavor, increase the amount of freeze-dried strawberry powder.
  • Be careful not to overmix the dough to keep the cookies tender.
  • Store the cookies in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
