Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Cream the very soft butter in a mixing bowl using an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add powdered sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, and kosher salt, mixing until incorporated.
Slowly mix in all-purpose flour until a soft dough forms. Adjust flour if dough is too sticky.
Scoop portions of dough, roll into balls, and coat in granulated sugar. Place on baking sheets and flatten slightly.
Bake cookies for 18-22 minutes until edges are light golden. Do not overbake.
Allow cookies to cool on sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks.
Prepare strawberry syrup by microwaving diced strawberries with granulated sugar. Strain and reduce liquid for concentrated flavor.
Mix reduced syrup with fresh lemon juice and powdered sugar to achieve icing consistency.
Spread icing generously over cooled cookies and let set for 3-4 hours before serving.
