Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

• ½ tsp baking soda

• ¼ tsp salt

• ½ cup unsalted butter, softened

• 1 cup granulated sugar

• 1 large egg

• 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice

• 1 tbsp lemon zest

• ½ cup freeze-dried strawberries, finely crushed

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• ½ cup powdered sugar (for rolling)

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
• In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
• Add the egg, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
• Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix until smooth.
• Gently fold in the crushed freeze-dried strawberries.
• Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the baking sheet.
• Roll each dough ball in powdered sugar and slightly flatten with the back of a spoon.
• Bake for 10–12 minutes or until edges are golden.
• Let cookies cool on a wire rack.

Notes

• Use fresh lemon juice and zest for the best flavor.
• If you can’t find freeze-dried strawberries, fresh strawberries can be substituted, though they will make the dough wetter.
• For an extra strawberry touch, drizzle the cooled cookies with strawberry glaze or jam.
