Decadent Strawberry White Chocolate Delights

Let’s make some delicious Strawberry White Chocolate Cookies that are big, bursting with creamy white chocolate chips, and have just the right amount of tartness from freeze-dried strawberries. Here’s how you can whip up these treats in no time.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup butter (salted is fine), softened
• 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 1/4 cups and 2 tablespoons flour (for specifics on weight, see the note below)
• 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 to 3/4 cup freeze-dried strawberries
• 1/2 cup white chocolate chips

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
2. In a mixing bowl, use a stand mixer or an electric hand mixer to cream the butter and sugars until smooth.
3. Beat in the egg and vanilla just until incorporated.
4. Add the flour, baking soda, and salt, mixing until everything is just combined.
5. Gently crush the freeze-dried strawberries into small chunks (not powder) and fold them into the mix along with the white chocolate chips.
6. Shape the dough into balls (you should get about 9-12) and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. You might need to bake in two batches.
7. Bake for 9-11 minutes. The cookies will puff up a bit but will settle down into soft, dense treats as they cool.

Notes:

• Measuring Flour: Scooping directly from the bag works, but for precision, 185 grams will give you slightly thinner edges with a fatter center (my preference), or use 190-200 grams for a more uniformly thick cookie.
• Experimenting with Thickness: Start with 185 grams of flour and bake a single cookie to test. If you prefer it thicker, add an extra tablespoon or two (5-10 grams) of flour to the dough for the next batch.
