Ingredients

Scale

For the Cookie Dough:

  • 1 cup (227g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (100g) brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 3/4 cups (345g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (25g) crushed freeze-dried strawberries

For the Strawberry Crunch Topping:

  • 1 cup (20g) freeze-dried strawberries
  • 15 vanilla sandwich cookies (crushed)
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter

Optional Glaze:

  • 1/2 cup (60g) powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon milk or cream
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven: Set oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.

2. Make the cookie dough: Beat butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (2–3 minutes). Add eggs one at a time, then vanilla extract.

3. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to wet ingredients until a soft dough forms. Fold in crushed freeze-dried strawberries.

4. Shape and bake: Scoop tablespoons of dough onto baking sheets, spacing 2 inches apart. Bake for 10–12 minutes, until edges are golden and centers soft. Let cool completely.

5. Prepare the strawberry crunch: In a food processor, pulse freeze-dried strawberries and vanilla sandwich cookies. Add melted butter and pulse again until crumbly.

6. Make the glaze: Whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract together until smooth. Drizzle over cooled cookies.

7. Finish: Sprinkle with strawberry crunch while glaze is wet. Let set before serving.

Notes

Use room-temperature butter for perfect creaming.

Do not overbake — cookies continue to set as they cool.

Chill dough for 20 minutes before baking for thicker cookies.

Crush freeze-dried strawberries finely for even flavor.

Top immediately after glazing to help the crunch stick.
