Ingredients

Scale

1 cup (227g) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups (310g) all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup (20g) freeze-dried strawberries
1 cup (100g) vanilla sandwich cookies
1 cup (175g) white chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, cream 1 cup of softened unsalted butter and 1 cup of granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in 1 egg and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
Gradually mix in 2 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon of baking powder until a soft dough forms.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, form dough balls and place them onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are lightly golden. Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack.
In a food processor, pulse 1 cup of freeze-dried strawberries and 1 cup of vanilla sandwich cookies until they form fine crumbs.
Melt 1 cup of white chocolate chips in the microwave or a double boiler. Dip the top of each cookie into the melted white chocolate, then into the strawberry crunch mixture.
Allow the topping to set for about 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

Ensure the cookies are completely cool before adding the topping to prevent it from sliding off. If the topping mixture doesn’t stick well, gently press it onto the melted white chocolate using your fingers.
