Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 and 1/4 cups granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 11 ounces white chocolate chips
- 2 bags freeze-dried strawberries (68 g)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a stand mixer or using a handheld mixer, combine the butter and both sugars. Beat on medium speed for about 3 minutes until light and fluffy, scraping down the bowl as needed. Then, beat in the vanilla extract.
- Reduce the mixer speed to medium-low and add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition and scraping the bowl as needed.
- Lower the mixer speed to low and add in the flour mixture, beating until just combined. Mix in the white chocolate chips and dried strawberries until evenly incorporated.
- Use a large cookie scoop to scoop 3 tablespoons of dough, roll it into a ball, and place it on the prepared baking sheet with the side showcasing the most chocolate and strawberries facing up. Leave 2 inches between each cookie.
- Bake one sheet at a time for 12 to 13 minutes until golden at the edges but soft in the center.
- Remove from the oven and, using a spatula, tuck in any uneven edges to create a round cookie shape. Optionally, press extra white chocolate chips on top.
- Cool the cookies on the baking sheet for 20 minutes on a wire rack before serving.
Notes
Ensure your butter is at room temperature for easy mixing.
Using freeze-dried strawberries is key to achieving the best flavor without adding excess moisture.
For a more intense strawberry flavor, consider adding additional freeze-dried fruit.
