Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk very soft butter until fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Gradually add powdered sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, and kosher salt; mix until smooth.
  3. Slowly fold in all-purpose flour until the dough comes together but remains soft and slightly sticky.
  4. Scoop tablespoon-sized dough portions, roll in granulated sugar, flatten gently on baking sheets.
  5. Bake for 18-22 minutes until golden around the edges, keeping them pale on top.
  6. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  7. For strawberry syrup, microwave fresh strawberries and granulated sugar until softened, then strain.
  8. In a clean bowl, mix strawberry syrup, lemon juice, and additional powdered sugar until thick.
  9. Spread icing on cooled cookies for a delicious finish.
