Delicious cookies with soft centers and a crunchy strawberry topping, perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup freeze-dried strawberries, crushed
  • 1/3 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (for crunch topping)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (for crunch topping, cold)
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar (for crunch topping)
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for pink drizzle)
  • 12 tablespoons milk (for pink drizzle)
  • 12 drops pink food coloring (optional, for pink drizzle)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, whisk the 1 1/4 cups flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a separate bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the egg and vanilla. Scrape the bowl.
  5. Add the dry mix to the wet mix in batches. Stir until just combined.
  6. Fold in the crushed freeze-dried strawberries and white chocolate chips. Keep the dough light.
  7. Make the crunch topping by cutting the cold butter into the 1/4 cup flour and 3 tablespoons sugar until it looks like crumbs.
  8. Scoop about 1 1/2 tablespoons of dough for each cookie. Place them on the baking sheet. Flatten them slightly and press a bit of the crumb topping onto each cookie.
  9. Bake for 12–14 minutes, until the edges turn golden. Let the cookies cool on a wire rack.
  10. For the pink drizzle, whisk powdered sugar with milk and a drop of pink food coloring until smooth. Drizzle over cooled cookies and let set.
