Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Make the Cookie Dough:
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing well until combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in the crushed freeze-dried strawberries.
- Prepare the Topping: In a small bowl, combine the crushed freeze-dried strawberries with granulated sugar for the topping.
- Form the Cookies:
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Gently press the tops of the cookies into the strawberry sugar mixture, coating them well.
- Bake the Cookies:
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Prepare the White Chocolate Drizzle:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. If desired, add vegetable oil for a thinner consistency.
- Drizzle the Cookies: Once the cookies are completely cooled, drizzle the melted white chocolate over the top using a fork or piping bag.
- Serve and Enjoy: Enjoy your delightful Strawberry Crunch Cookies, perfect for any occasion! Feel free to store them in an airtight container to keep them fresh.
