Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup freeze-dried strawberries, crushed
- 1 cup golden Oreo cookies, finely crushed
- 1/4 cup freeze-dried strawberries, finely crushed
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Gently fold in the crushed freeze-dried strawberries.
- In a small bowl, combine the crushed golden Oreo cookies, crushed freeze-dried strawberries, and melted butter. Mix well.
- Use a cookie scoop or spoon to drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie. Gently flatten each cookie dough ball.
- Sprinkle the strawberry crunch topping evenly over the cookies, gently pressing it into the dough.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
- Freeze baked cookies in an airtight container for up to 2 months.
- For best results, use freeze-dried strawberries as they do not add extra moisture to the dough.
- Ensure butter is softened, not melted, for the cookie dough.
- Do not overmix the dough to prevent tough cookies.
