Strawberry Crunch Cookies are a delightful treat that combines the bright flavor of freeze-dried strawberries with a crunchy topping made from graham crackers.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup freeze-dried strawberries, crushed
- 1 cup strawberry cake mix
- 1 cup crushed freeze-dried strawberries (for topping)
- 1 cup crushed graham crackers
- 1/2 cup melted butter
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, and stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Fold in the crushed freeze-dried strawberries and the strawberry cake mix until evenly distributed.
- Using a cookie scoop or spoon, portion the dough into rounded balls and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers are set.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- In a small bowl, mix together the crushed freeze-dried strawberries, crushed graham crackers, and melted butter for the crunch topping.
- Gently press the crunch topping onto the cooled cookies for even coverage.
