Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350˚F.
Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, cream of tartar and salt. Set aside.
Line two sheet pans with parchment paper. Set aside.
Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, 3-4 minutes. Add strawberry powder and mix until well combined.
Add eggs and mix for another 2 minutes.
Add dry ingredients and mix until combined.
Using a spoon or a cookie scoop (mine holds about 1½ tablespoons) drop cookies onto prepared sheet pan leaving 2 inches between cookies.
Bake at 350 degrees for about 10-12 minutes or until cookies begin to crack on the top. Don't let them get too brown or they won't be pretty.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire cooling rack and cool completely.
