Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients

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

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened at room temperature
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg at room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp milk

Mix-ins and Toppings

  • 2/3 cup freeze-dried strawberries finely crushed into powder
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
  • Pink or red sanding sugar for rolling, optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In a large bowl using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar on medium speed for 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy.
  • Beat the egg and vanilla extract into the butter-sugar mixture until fully combined and smooth. With the mixer on low speed, gradually add the flour mixture until just incorporated. The dough will be thick.
  • Switch to a sturdy spatula. Fold in the powdered freeze-dried strawberries, white chocolate chips, and milk until a uniformly pink dough forms and no dry streaks remain.
  • Scoop dough by heaping tablespoons, roll into 1-inch balls, and optionally roll the tops in sanding sugar. Place balls 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just set and the bottoms are lightly golden. The centers will look soft. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. They will firm up as they cool.

Notes

Add mozzarella or feta for a cheesy twist. Let dough rise in a warm oven (off) for faster proofing.
