Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time followed by the vanilla extract.
- In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix this into the butter mixture until a soft dough forms.
- Divide the dough into three bowls. Color one portion with strawberry powder or extract, another with matcha powder, leaving the third plain.
