Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ¼ cups (280g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup (170g) unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (100g) light brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup (60g) freeze-dried strawberries, crushed
  • 1 cup (170g) white chocolate chips
  • Optional: extra crushed freeze-dried strawberries and white chocolate chips for topping

Instructions

1. Prepare the Dough

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until creamy and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
  3. Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  5. Fold in the crushed freeze-dried strawberries and white chocolate chips.

2. Chill the Dough

  1. Cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to prevent spreading during baking.

3. Preheat the Oven

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.

4. Bake the Cookies

  1. Scoop about 1 ½ tablespoons of dough (or use a medium cookie scoop) and roll into balls. Place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  2. Press a few extra white chocolate chips and crushed strawberries onto the tops for decoration, if desired.
  3. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers look slightly underbaked (they will firm up as they cool).

5. Cool and Serve

  1. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Storage: Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
  • Freeze-Dried Strawberries: These provide intense strawberry flavor without adding moisture to the dough. They can be found in most grocery stores or online.
  • Variations: Add ½ cup of chopped nuts like macadamias or almonds for extra crunch.
