Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 3 cups (360 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (150 g) freeze-dried strawberries
  • 1 cup (150 g) strawberry cake mix

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup (240 ml) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 cup (220 g) brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla extract and mix well.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, freeze-dried strawberries, and strawberry cake mix.
  3. Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to maintain cookie tenderness.
  4. Shape the Cookies: Scoop the dough into tablespoon-sized balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
  5. Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still soft.
  6. Cool: Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For best results, use freeze-dried strawberries instead of fresh to maintain crunch and prevent excess moisture.
  • Chilling the dough for 30 minutes before baking can help control spreading and improve texture.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
  • You can substitute strawberry cake mix with any fruit-flavored cake mix for a different twist.
