🍓 Strawberry Crunch Cookies 🍪

recip


5. Prepare the Crunch Topping

  1. In a small bowl, combine the turbinado sugar and finely chopped freeze-dried strawberries. Optionally, add sprinkles or crushed nuts for extra color and texture.

6. Shape and Top the Cookies

  1. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  2. Roll each dough ball in the crunch topping mixture, pressing gently to ensure the topping adheres evenly.

7. Bake Until Golden

  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set.
  2. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

8. Serve and Enjoy

  1. Once cooled, serve the cookies as-is or drizzle with melted white chocolate for an extra touch of sweetness.
  2. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.

Serving Suggestions

  • Pair with a glass of cold milk or a hot cup of tea for a comforting snack.
  • Package them in decorative tins or bags for homemade gifts.
  • Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a cookie sandwich dessert.

Pro Tips for Success

  • Use Freeze-Dried Strawberries: They provide concentrated strawberry flavor without adding extra moisture to the dough.
  • Chill the Dough (Optional): If the dough feels too soft, chill it for 15–20 minutes before shaping to make it easier to handle.
  • Avoid Overbaking: These cookies are best when slightly underbaked, as they continue to firm up as they cool.
  • Experiment with Toppings: Try rolling the cookies in crushed graham crackers, sprinkles, or even mini chocolate chips for variety.
