Ingredients

Scale

For the Cookies:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 cup crushed freeze-dried strawberries

For the Crunchy Topping:

  • 1 cup crushed freeze-dried strawberries
  • ½ cup granulated sugar

For the White Chocolate Drizzle:

  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil (optional, for smoothness)

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  • In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and powdered sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  • Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing well until fully incorporated.

3. Combine Dry Ingredients

  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
  • Fold in the crushed freeze-dried strawberries to distribute evenly.

4. Prepare the Crunchy Topping

In a small bowl, mix the crushed freeze-dried strawberries and granulated sugar.

5. Shape and Coat Cookies

  • Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  • Press the tops of each cookie into the strawberry sugar mixture to coat.

6. Bake

Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are lightly golden. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

7. White Chocolate Drizzle

  • In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips, stirring every 15-20 seconds until smooth. If needed, add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil for a smoother drizzle.
  • Use a fork or a piping bag to drizzle the white chocolate over the cooled cookies.

Notes

  • Use Fresh Freeze-Dried Strawberries: They provide the best flavor and texture.
  • Don’t Overmix: Overmixing can lead to tough cookies. Mix until just combined.
  • Chill the Dough: If the dough is too soft, chill it for 15-20 minutes before shaping.
  • Even Coating: Press the cookies firmly into the strawberry sugar mixture for an even crunch.
