Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl.
  3. Cream together the butter and sugar in a large bowl using an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter-sugar mixture, mixing until just combined.
  5. Divide the dough into three equal portions into separate bowls.
  6. To one portion, grind the freeze-dried strawberries into a powder and mix until combined.
  7. In another portion, stir in the matcha powder until the dough is well-colored and fragrant.
  8. Scoop out 1 tablespoon of each flavored dough and roll into balls, then roll in granulated sugar.
  9. Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes until puffed and lightly golden, then cool on the baking sheets.
