- In the bowl of a stand mixer or with an electric hand mixer, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light in color and fluffy in texture. This will take about 2 minutes.3/4 (167g) cup salted butter, softened, 3/4 (173g) cup granulated sugar
- Scrape the sides and add in the egg and vanilla. Mix.1 egg, 1 1/2 tsp vanilla
- Once combined, add the flour, baking powder and canola oil. Mix until a soft dough comes together, then divide the dough in half.2 1/4 (342g) cups all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 tsp baking powder, 1 tbsp canola oil
- Line a 9x13 pan with parchment paper and press half of the dough into the parchment paper. Alternatively, you can use a rolling pin to roll it out into a rectangle on parchment paper and then cut to fit the 9x13 pan. Remove the parchment paper and dough and place in the freezer.
- Grease the 9x13 pan with non-stick spray and then press the remaining half of the dough into the bottom of the pan. The dough will be thin, just work slowly until the bottom of the pan is evenly covered.
- Carefully and evenly spread the glaze for strawberries onto the bottom layer of cookie. Take care to leave a space around the edges of the pan.1 cup Glaze for strawberries
