Strawberry Shortcake Cookies

2 cups strawberries, clean, hulled, and diced
1 tsp. lemon juice
1/2 cup + 1 T. granulated sugar
2 cups flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
6 T. cold butter cut into small pieces

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Combine strawberries, lemon juice, and 2 T. granulated sugar. Whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and remaining 7 T. granulated sugar in large bowl. Cut in the butter (or rub with your fingers) until mixture is crumbly. Stir in cream until soft dough forms, then stir in strawberries.
