Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour weighed with a digital scale or lightly spooned into the measuring cup and leveled off with a knife
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter room temperature
  • 1 and 1/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar packed
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 11 ounces white chocolate chips
  • 2 1.2 ounce bags freeze-dried strawberries

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Whisk
  • Baking Sheet
  • Oven

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper and set them aside.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set it aside.
  3. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or in a large bowl using a handheld electric mixer, combine the butter and both sugars and beat on medium speed for about 3 minutes, until light and fluffy, scraping down the bottom and sides of the bowl as needed. Beat in the vanilla extract.
  4. Reduce the mixer speed to medium-low and beat in the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition, and scraping down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed.
  5. Reduce the mixer speed to low and add the flour mixture, beating until just combined. Mix in the white chocolate chips and freeze-dried strawberries, just until evenly combined.
  6. Using a large spring-loaded cookie scoop, scoop 3 tablespoons (75 g) of cookie dough and roll it into a ball. Place the dough ball on the prepared sheet, with the side up that has the most white chocolate chips and strawberry pieces showing.
  7. Repeat with all dough, leaving 2 inches between each cookie.
  8. Bake one sheet at a time for 12 to 13 minutes, or until golden at the edges but still soft in the middle.
  9. Remove the cookies from the oven and, using a spatula, carefully tuck in any edges that may have spread too much while baking, creating a perfectly round cookie.
  10. Press extra white chocolate chips on top, if desired. Cool cookies on the baking sheet, placed on a wire rack, for 20 minutes before serving/moving.

Notes

  • Storage: Store cookies in an airtight container to maintain freshness. They should last about a week.
  • Freezing: You can freeze the cookie dough for up to three months. Just scoop the dough balls and place them on a baking sheet, freeze them until solid, then transfer to a freezer bag.
  • Pairing: These cookies pair beautifully with a glass of cold milk or a cup of tea, enhancing the strawberry flavor.
  • Variations: Try substituting different mix-ins, like nuts or other types of chocolate, for a new twist.
  • Serving size: These cookies are large; consider cutting them in half for smaller bites at gatherings.
  • Presentation: Dust with powdered sugar before serving for a beautiful finish.
