Strawberry White Chocolate Dessert (Print-Friendly Format)

Soft, chewy cookies with strawberries and white chocolate. Sweet and indulgent flavors perfect for any gathering!

# Required Ingredients:

01 - 2 1/4 cups (280g) all-purpose flour
02 - 1 teaspoon baking soda
03 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
04 - 3/4 cup (170g) unsalted butter, softened
05 - 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
06 - 1/2 cup (100g) light brown sugar, packed
07 - 1 large egg
08 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
09 - 1/2 cup (60g) freeze-dried strawberries, crushed
10 - 1 cup (170g) white chocolate chips
11 - Optional: extra crushed freeze-dried strawberries and white chocolate chips for topping

# How to Make It:

01 - In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until creamy and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes). Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in the crushed freeze-dried strawberries and white chocolate chips.
02 - Cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to prevent spreading during baking.
03 - Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
04 - Scoop about 1 ½ tablespoons of dough (or use a medium cookie scoop) and roll into balls. Place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Press a few extra white chocolate chips and crushed strawberries onto the tops for decoration, if desired. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers look slightly underbaked (they will firm up as they cool).
05 - Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

# Additional Information:

01 - Freeze-dried strawberries provide intense strawberry flavor without adding moisture to the dough.
02 - Optional storage tip: Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
03 - Optional variation: Add ½ cup of chopped nuts like macadamias or almonds for extra crunch.
