Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180C (355F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, salt, and freeze-dried strawberry powder. Set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or you can use a bowl and a hand mixer), beat the butter and sugar on medium-high for 2-3 minutes or until it resembles a thick, homogenous paste.
Then, add the egg and food coloring and beat until emulsified.
Add the dry ingredients and beat on the lowest speed just until no dry ingredients are left.
Form 16 even balls (35g each) and place them on the prepared baking sheets.
Bake one batch at a time for 10-11 minutes or until finished spreading and puffing up. Remove from the oven and drop the tray 2-3 times on a flat surface to deflate the cookies. Transfer with an offset spatula onto a cooling rack.
Repeat the process with the second batch.
Notes
Store the cookies in an airtight container lined with a paper towel, or covered with plastic wrap on a plate at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
Freeze the cookies for up to 2 months.
