Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup freeze-dried strawberries, crushed
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips (optional)
- 1/4 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, mix the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set it aside.
- In a large bowl, beat together the softened butter, cream cheese, and sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract, and continue to beat until fully combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Stir in the crushed freeze-dried strawberries and white chocolate chips (if using).
- Fold in the chopped fresh strawberries gently to avoid overmixing.
- Drop rounded tablespoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Chill the dough for about 30 minutes before baking to prevent spreading.
- Fresh strawberries can be used instead of freeze-dried ones; chop them small and dry with a paper towel to reduce moisture.
- Substitute mascarpone or non-dairy cream cheese for the cream cheese if desired.
- For chewier cookies, slightly underbake them.
