Preheat oven to 375 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, combine strawberries, lemon juice, and 2 Tbsp of sugar.
In a separate larger bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and remaining 7 Tbsp sugar. Add butter to flour mixture and using your fingers or a pastry cutter, combine until a crumb-like mixture is formed.
Add heavy cream and stir until mixture is dough-like. Stir in strawberry mixture.
Place tablespoon-size scoops of dough onto prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle cookies with coarse sugar.
Bake cookies for 16-18 minutes, until just turning golden around edges. Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes before moving to metal cooling rack to cool completely.
