Scale
Dry Ingredients:
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon strawberry extract (optional)
Mix-Ins:
- 1/2 cup freeze-dried strawberries, crushed
- 1/2 cup strawberry-flavored cereal (e.g., Strawberry Crunch or Cap’n Crunch Berries)
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Cream butter and sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and optional strawberry extract.
- Combine wet and dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Fold in the freeze-dried strawberries, crushed cereal, and white chocolate chips.
- Bake: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the baking sheet. Bake for 10–12 minutes until lightly golden on the edges and set in the centers.
- Cool: Let the cookies cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For extra crunch, sprinkle extra crushed cereal on top before baking.
- If using fresh strawberries, note that the cookies will be softer and best eaten within 1–2 days.
