Ingredients

Scale

2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour
8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, full-fat
1/2 cup (115 g) butter
3/4 cup (150 g) granulated sugar
1/4 cup (50 g) brown sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp baking powder
Pinch of salt
1/2 cup (90 g) freeze-dried strawberries, crushed
1/2 cup (90 g) white chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper. Crush the freeze-dried strawberries into small pieces.
In a large bowl, cream together the cream cheese, butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined. Fold in the freeze-dried strawberries and white chocolate chips.
Use a cookie scoop to portion out the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

For best results, use room temperature ingredients and chill the dough if it feels sticky. Bake one test cookie to ensure proper oven temperature and timing.
