- Prepare the strawberry powder by pulsing freeze-dried strawberries in a food processor until fine.
- Cream softened butter and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy, then gradually add powdered sugar.
- Fold in strawberry powder, flour, and salt until just combined; avoid overmixing.
- Shape dough into a disk, wrap in plastic, and chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour or freezer for 30 minutes.
- Roll chilled dough to ¼ inch thickness, cut out shapes, and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake cookies for 10-12 minutes until edges are lightly golden.

- Dip cooled cookies into glaze and allow excess to drip off; sprinkle crushed strawberries on top.

Notes
Use room temperature butter for the best texture. Always chill dough to prevent spreading while baking.
