Mix together the strawberries, sugar and lemon juice in a bowl.  Let sit for 10 minutes and then drain off the excess moisture.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

In a bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.  Then cut in the butter until a crumbly mixture is formed.  You can cut in the butter with a pastry cutter, with a fork or with your hands.

Slowly stir in the vanilla extract and cream until a dough starts to form.  Then carefully mix in the strawberries with a wooden spoon being careful not to smash the strawberries.

Using a 1 1/2 tablespoon cookie scoop, drop the cookie dough onto a baking sheet approximately 2 inches apart.  Gently press down the cookie dough balls with the bottom of a glass as they will not spread when baking.

Bake for 18-20 minutes until the cookies are slightly golden around the edges.  Be careful not to over bake.

Remove from the oven, let the cookies rest for 5 minutes on the baking sheet.  Then move them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Serve and enjoy!
