Directions:
1. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.

2. Put butter and sugar in bowl of a food processor or stand mixer. Sift in the strawberry powder to avoid lumps. Cream well. Make sure strawberry powder is well incorporated and the mixture is streak free.

3. All the flour and pulse about 10 times, then run the machine briefly, just until the dough comes together into a lump or lumps. If using a stand mixer, add the flour on low and mix until the dough comes together.

4. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and finish bringing it together, if necessary, with your hands. When it is smooth with no crumbly spots remaining, form it into 5-6 small disks. Wrap in plastic and chill overnight; then bring back to room temperature.

5. Preheat oven to 350º.

6. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to a 1/4 inch thickness and cut out with a cookie cutter. May refrigerate again for 15-20 minutes before baking.(makes 2 pans)

7. Bake the cookies for 8 minutes, trade pans top to bottom and bake 2 more minutes.

8. Cool on the pan for about 15 minutes, until the cookies are firm enough to handle, and then lightly brush the edges with egg white, and roll in sparkling sugar. Let dry before eating.

Personal Notes:
Sarah and I researched and made 3 types of cookies for my friend Carolyn's wedding last year--each type symbolizing a different season. These were our favorites! We cut them heart shapes and edged them with sparkling sugar. Delicate pink and so tasty!
