Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, freeze-dried strawberry powder, baking soda, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Set aside.

- Beat in the large egg until just combined, then stir in the vanilla extract and any optional food coloring.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes.
- Scoop out rounded tablespoons of dough and roll them into smooth balls, then roll each ball in powdered sugar.
- Arrange the coated dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets and bake for 9-11 minutes.
- Immediately press one unwrapped Hershey's Kiss into the center of each cookie after removing them from the oven.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
