Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients:
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Mix-ins:
- 1 cup freeze-dried strawberries (crushed)
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup graham cracker crumbs (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Prepare the dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Make the cookie dough: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, cream cheese, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and creamy. Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix until fully incorporated. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined. Fold in the crushed freeze-dried strawberries and white chocolate chips.
- Bake the cookies: Scoop the dough into 1 1/2 tablespoon-sized balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets. Lightly press each ball down and sprinkle with graham cracker crumbs if using. Bake for 11 to 13 minutes or until golden.
- Cool and enjoy: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For an extra strawberry burst, press a few more strawberry pieces on top of each dough ball before baking.
- Store cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for a cheesecake-like texture.
