- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons freeze-dried strawberry powder
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.

- Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Add Strawberry Powder: Gently fold in the freeze-dried strawberry powder until the dough is evenly colored.
