Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and a pinch of salt; set aside.
  3. In a stand mixer, beat 1 cup of room-temperature unsalted butter with 1 cup of granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes. Add the egg and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
  4. Gradually add the dry mixture to the creamed mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined.
  5. Divide the dough into three equal portions. Place each in separate bowls.
  6. Mix 2 tablespoons of freeze-dried strawberry powder into one bowl and 2 tablespoons of matcha powder into another, leaving one portion plain.
  7. Scoop 1 tablespoon of each colored dough and roll into balls, then roll in granulated sugar.
  8. Place the cookie balls on baking sheets, spaced 2 inches apart, and bake for 10-12 minutes.
  9. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheets for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
