Ingredients
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
4 oz cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup crushed freeze-dried strawberries
1/2 cup white chocolate chips or melting wafers (for drizzle)
Instructions
1. Beat butter, cream cheese, and sugar in a mixer until light and fluffy.
2. Mix in vanilla extract.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
4. Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture until just combined.
5. Fold in crushed freeze-dried strawberries.
6. Scoop dough using a cookie scoop onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
7. Chill the dough balls for 30 minutes.
8. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
9. Bake cookies for 10–12 minutes until edges are set but centers remain soft.
10. Let cookies cool on a rack.
11. Melt white chocolate and drizzle over cooled cookies.
12. Allow the drizzle to set before serving or storing.
Notes
Don’t skip chilling the dough – it helps the cookies maintain their shape and improves texture.
Use block-style cream cheese only – spreadable types will alter the dough consistency.
Let the drizzle set completely before stacking or storing to avoid mess and smudging.
