• freeze-dried strawberries↗0.5 cup
• white chocolate chips↗0.5 cup

Step-by-step instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

2. 2

   Using a stand mixer or an electric hand mixer, combine the butter with the sugars until creamy.

3. 3

   Add the egg and vanilla; mix until just combined.

4. 4

   Add the flour, baking soda, and salt; mix until just combined.

5. 5

   Fold in the white chocolate chips. Crush the strawberry pieces gently by hand, not into powder but just into small chunks. Fold strawberry pieces into the dough.

6. 6

   Roll into balls (9-12 total) and bake on a parchment-lined baking sheet for 9-11 minutes depending on the size of your cookies. I usually do this in two batches. At 9-10 minutes, the cookies will be puffed up slightly – they’re not going to stay like that! You’ll want to sit them out for a few minutes so they can sink back down and firm up into soft, dense, buttery, delicious little miracle cookies.
