Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in lemon zest.
In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add to wet ingredients until just combined.
Gently fold in chopped strawberries.
Drop tablespoons of dough onto prepared sheets about two inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are lightly golden.
