Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons lemon zest (about 2 lemons)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 cup freeze-dried strawberries, crushed
  • Optional: 1/4 cup white chocolate chips for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
  6. Fold in the lemon zest, lemon juice, and crushed freeze-dried strawberries gently to distribute evenly.
  7. Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
  8. Optionally, press a few white chocolate chips on top of each cookie for extra flavor.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers remain soft.
  10. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For an extra burst of lemon flavor, drizzle a simple lemon glaze over cooled cookies by mixing powdered sugar with lemon juice.
