Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup freeze-dried strawberries, crushed
  • For the Crunch Topping:
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • ¼ cup crushed freeze-dried strawberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Stir in the crushed freeze-dried strawberries.
  7. Make the Crunch Topping: In a medium bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cold butter, and crushed freeze-dried strawberries. Use a pastry blender or your fingers to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  8. Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets.
  9. Sprinkle the crunch topping evenly over each cookie.
  10. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
  11. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For extra flavor, add a teaspoon of strawberry extract to the cookie dough. Serve these cookies with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful dessert.
