For the Cookies:
- 3 cups freeze-dried strawberries
- 2 sticks (1 cup) salted butter, room temperature
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour

Instructions
1️⃣ Make Strawberry Powder: Begin by blending the freeze-dried strawberries into a fine powder using a blender.
2️⃣ Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
3️⃣ Prepare Cookie Dough: Cream together the butter, sugar, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg. Gradually mix in the flour, baking soda, a portion of the strawberry powder, and salt. Stir in the strawberry jam.
