Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Set it aside.
In a large bowl, beat together the softened butter and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take a few minutes.
Add in the egg and vanilla extract, and continue to beat until everything is smooth and well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined to avoid overworking the dough.
Stir in the freeze-dried strawberry powder and chopped fresh strawberries. Make sure to evenly distribute them throughout the dough.
Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Space each one about 2 inches apart to give them room to spread as they bake.
Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For extra flavor, drizzle a glaze made of powdered sugar and lemon juice over the cookies.

Feel free to add mini chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or extra freeze-dried strawberries for variety.

Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-4 days or refrigerate them for up to a week.

Freeze cookies in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months.
