Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon strawberry extract or 1/4 cup strawberry pudding mix
  • 1/4 cup freeze-dried strawberries, finely crushed
  • Optional: pink or red food coloring
  • Optional: 1/2 cup white chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in egg, vanilla, strawberry extract or pudding mix, and food coloring if using.
  5. Gradually mix in dry ingredients until a soft dough forms.
  6. Fold in crushed freeze-dried strawberries and white chocolate chips if desired.
  7. Scoop dough into balls and place on the prepared baking sheet.
  8. Bake for 9–11 minutes, until edges are set and centers are still soft.
  9. Cool cookies on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Drizzle melted white chocolate over cooled cookies for a bakery-style finish.
  • Sandwich two cookies with strawberry frosting or jam for an indulgent treat.
  • Add extra freeze-dried strawberry powder for a stronger fruit flavor.
