Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 ¼ cups (280g) all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup (170g) unsalted butter
- 1 cup (170g) white chocolate chips
- ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
- ½ cup (100g) light brown sugar
Baking and Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup (60g) freeze-dried strawberries, crushed
Optional Toppings:
- Crushed freeze-dried strawberries
- White chocolate chips
Instructions
- Sift together the dry ingredients in a medium mixing vessel, ensuring an even distribution of flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Cream the butter with both sugars using an electric mixer, whipping until the mixture transforms into a light, airy consistency with a pale yellow hue.
- Incorporate the egg and vanilla extract, blending thoroughly until the liquid ingredients seamlessly integrate with the butter-sugar base.
- Gently introduce the sifted dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring with minimal agitation to prevent overworking the dough.
- Delicately fold in the crushed freeze-dried strawberries and white chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the cookie dough.
- Form the dough into uniform spheres, placing them on a lined baking sheet with adequate spacing to allow for spreading during baking.
- Chill the prepared cookie dough for 30 minutes to enhance flavor development and prevent excessive spreading during baking.
- Preheat the oven and position the rack in the center to ensure consistent heat circulation.
- Bake until the edges turn golden brown and the centers appear slightly soft, allowing residual heat to complete the cooking process.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack for complete cooling.
Notes
- Ensure butter is at room temperature for smooth, even mixing and optimal cookie texture.
- Crush freeze-dried strawberries into small pieces to distribute flavor evenly throughout the cookie dough.
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent excessive spreading and create thicker, chewier cookies.
- For gluten-free option, substitute all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend to maintain the cookie’s soft, tender structure.
