Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl combine strawberries, lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons granulated sugar. In a separate large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and remaining granulated sugar.
Cut in the butter with a pastry cutter, or rub in with your fingers, until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in cream until dough starts to come together, then gently stir in strawberry mixture.Using a 1 ½-inch ice cream scoop or a tablespoon, drop dough onto baking sheets lined with parchment, spacing evenly apart.
Sprinkle with turbinado sugar, and bake until golden brown, about 24 minutes. Make sure you rotate the pans between racks in baking and watch them closely as the bottoms tend to burn easily from the sweet strawberry juice.
Transfer the sheets to a wire rack, and let cool. Cookies are best served immediately, but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for no more than 1 day. The fresh fruit causes the texture to change quickly.
