Print Recipe

These Strawberry Crunch Cookies are soft, chewy, and bursting with strawberry flavor. They’re topped with a homemade strawberry crumble that adds the perfect crunchy texture to every bite!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup freeze-dried strawberries, finely crushed

For the Strawberry Crunch Topping:

  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
  • ½ cup freeze-dried strawberries, finely crushed

Instructions

  1. Make the Strawberry Crunch Topping: In a medium bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and crushed freeze-dried strawberries. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside.
  2. Make the Cookie Dough: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Stir in the crushed freeze-dried strawberries.
  4. Cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  5. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  6. Roll the cookie dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie.
  7. Gently flatten each cookie with the palm of your hand. Sprinkle the strawberry crunch topping evenly over the cookies, pressing it lightly into the dough.
  8. Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For an extra burst of flavor, drizzle the cooled cookies with melted white chocolate and sprinkle with additional crushed freeze-dried strawberries.
