Strawberry Shortcake Cookies: Flaky

Instructions:

1. Whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a large bowl.
2. Using a pastry cutter or forks, work the cold, cubed butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized lumps remaining.
3. Stir in the coarsely crushed freeze-dried strawberries.
4. Add the cold buttermilk and vanilla extract, stirring until a soft dough forms.
5. Cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to stabilize the butter.
6. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
7. Scoop uniform portions of dough onto the baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
8. While cookies cool on a wire rack, prepare the glaze by whisking together powdered sugar, strawberry puree, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt.
9. Drizzle the strawberry glaze over the cooled cookies before serving.
