These Strawberry White Chocolate Cookies are absolutely massive, filled with creamy white chocolate chips and tangy freeze-dried strawberries. They are the perfect combination of soft and chewy, with a buttery flavor that will leave you craving more. The strawberries absorb the butter while baking, giving them a chewy texture that puts raisins to shame. The rich white chocolate perfectly balances the tartness of the strawberries, creating a truly delicious cookie experience.
If you’re ready to bake these delightful cookies, here’s what you’ll need:
– Salted butter (unsalted can work too)
– Light brown sugar
– Granulated sugar
– Egg
– Vanilla extract
– Flour
– Baking soda
– Salt
– Freeze-dried strawberries
– White chocolate chips
Once you have all your ingredients ready, follow these steps to make the cookies:
1. Cream the butter and sugars together, then add the egg and vanilla.
2. Mix in the dry ingredients and fold in the white chocolate chips.
3. Gently crush the freeze-dried strawberries and fold them into the dough.
4. Roll the dough into large balls and bake for 9-11 minutes.
5. Let the cookies cool slightly before enjoying their soft, dense, and buttery goodness.
These cookies are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven, but you can also freeze the dough for later use. The freeze-dried strawberries are a key ingredient in this recipe, as they absorb moisture and add a unique chewy texture to the cookies. Be sure to crush them into small chunks rather than a powder for the best results.
If you’re looking for more ways to use freeze-dried strawberries, consider adding them to oatmeal, yogurt, smoothies, or simply enjoying them as a snack. And if you’re feeling adventurous, try experimenting with different fruit variations or omitting the strawberries altogether for a classic white chocolate chip cookie.
