kcalThese Strawberries and Cream Cookies are soft, chewy, and bursting with the sweet-tart flavor of freeze-dried strawberries, creamy white chocolate chips, and a hint of crunchy graham cracker crumbs. A truly irresistible treat!
Ingredients
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup white chocolate chips
1 cup freeze-dried strawberries, roughly chopped
1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs (or crushed graham crackers)
Directions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Gently fold in the white chocolate chips, chopped freeze-dried strawberries, and graham cracker crumbs until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft. Do not overbake.
- Remove from oven and let cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days.
Notes
- Chill Factor: If your dough feels too soft or your kitchen is warm, a quick 20-30 minute chill in the fridge can help prevent your cookies from spreading too much. It’s a game-changer for chewy centers!
- Strawberry Punch: For an extra burst of strawberry flavor and color right on top, press a few extra chopped freeze-dried strawberries onto the cookies immediately after they come out of the oven. It makes them look insanely yummy!
- Graham Cracker Love: Don’t skip the graham cracker crumbs! They add a subtle, nostalgic sweetness and a lovely texture that perfectly complements the strawberries and cream. If you don’t have crumbs, just crush a few sheets of graham crackers finely.
