Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Add in the flour, salt, baking powder, and freeze-dried strawberry powder to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  5. Using a small cookie scooper (about 2 tablespoons worth), scoop out 14 equally sized cookie dough balls.
  6. Roll each ball in additional granulated sugar and place onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Baking
  1. Bake for 9 minutes.
  2. Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer keeping, refrigerate for up to a week or freeze in a single layer for up to 2 months. To refresh, warm in a 300°F oven for 4–5 minutes. Crush freeze-dried strawberries into fine powder for better color and flavor.
