What You Need To Make These Cookies
- Flour: A good all purpose flour works great for this cookie.
- Butter: I always opt for an unsalted butter. In doing this you can control the salt content in your recipe. It is important to have room temperature butter. Leaving the butter on the counter for several hours before incorporating it into your recipe will allow it to soften and come to room temperature.
- Sugar: Using granulated sugar will not only add sweetness, it will also add texture.
- Ground Cinnamon: For added warmth.
- Baking Powder & Baking Soda: These are your leavening agents which will give rise to your cookies.
- Salt: A small amount of salt added to sweet recipes will help enhance the flavors in that recipe.
- Egg: This will add structure and richness to your cookies.
- Vanilla Extract: I always opt for pure vanilla extract due to its intense vanilla flavor.
- Freeze Dried Strawberries: This will add intense strawberry flavor without excess moisture.
- White Chocolate Chips: This will add concentrated pockets of rich, sweet creamy flavor.
Tips For Making These Cookies:
- Room Temperature Butter: It is important to bring the butter to room temperature so that it blends with the other ingredients smoothly. You can do this by just placing the butter on the counter for several hours before you need it.
- Crumble Topping: I like to prepare my crumble topping first and store it in the fridge until Im ready for it.
- Consistent Size Cookies: The best way to get your cookies to be consistent in size is to use a cookie scoop when scooping out your cookies dough.
- Swirling Your Cookies: Swirling your cookies with a round cookie cutter immediately after they come out of the oven will give them the perfect round smooth shape.

Directions

- Whisk together the flour, granulated sugar and cinnamon until combined. Add the melted butter and mix until a crumble forms. Store in the refrigerator until needed.
- For The Cookie
- Preheat oven to 350º. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set to the side.

Add the flour mixture and beat until just combined. Fold in the freeze dried strawberries and the white chocolate chips until incorporated, do not over mix.
- Scoop out dough using a small ice cream scoop. Place dough balls on the prepared baking sheet 2” apart. Use the back of the ice cream scoop to make a small indent in the center of each cookie dough ball. Add a small amount of the prepared crumble topping in each indent then top with some extra white chocolate chips. Place in the preheated oven to bake for 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
