- 1 egg room temperature
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup freeze dried strawberries

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C).
- Prep 2 baking sheets by covering them with parchment paper.
- Combine 1 ⅔ cup of all purpose flour, ½ tsp of baking soda, ½ tsp of baking powder, and ¼ tsp of salt in a small bowl. Mix and set aside.
- In a separate bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, whisk together ½ cup of unsalted butter and 1 cup of granulated sugar until well combined.
- Add 1 egg and 2 tsp of vanilla extract to the mixer. Mix until combined.
- Combine the dry ingredients from step 1 with the wet ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Divide the dough into 3 equal portions. Place each portion in a bowl.
- Using a spice grinder or food processor, pulse ½ cup of freeze dried strawberries until it becomes fine powder. You should end up with ~2 tbsp of strawberry powder. Add the strawberry powder to 1 bowl with the cookie dough. Mix the dough and strawberry powder until combined.

- Take 1 tbsp of dough from each bowl and combine it into 1 cookie dough ball. Each ball should be ~50 grams.
