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:
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a mixing bowl, use a stand mixer or an electric hand mixer to cream the butter and sugars until smooth.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla just until incorporated.
- Add the flour, baking soda, and salt, mixing until everything is just combined.
- Gently crush the freeze-dried strawberries into small chunks (not powder) and fold them into the mix along with the white chocolate chips.
- 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.
- 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.
