STRAWBERRY-WHITE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Crush freeze-dried strawberries to a fine consistency.
• Sift flour, baking soda, salt, and baking powder together in a bowl.
• Beat butter, brown sugar, and white sugar together in a larger mixing bowl until fluffy. Add eggs, crushed strawberries, vanilla extract, and strawberry extract. Mix in dry ingredients in three additions, adding white chocolate chips with the last addition.
• Scoop cookies with a 1 1/2 tablespoon-sized scoop and place onto the prepared baking sheets, 2 inches apart.
• Bake in the preheated oven until lightly golden, about 14 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool on the cookie sheets for 3 to 5 minutes before removing to wire racks to cool completely.

WHITE CHOCOLATE CHIP AND STRAWBERRY COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°.
• Clean, trim, and slice berries.
• Puree/mash strawberries in a blender, or with a fork for less mess (berries should now be 3/4 cup), leaving some larger chunks if desired; set berries aside.
• In a large bowl beat butter and sugars.
• Beat in one egg at a time.
• In a separate bowl whisk flour, salt and baking powder.
• Add dry mixture to creamed mixture, about 1/2 a cup at a time.
• When well mixed, slowly add berries, about 1/4 cup at a time, while mixing at the same time, ensuring berries are spread well throughout.
• Add the white chocolate chips and stir to combine evenly throughout batter.
• Drop batter in tablespoons about 1-inch apart on a greased baking sheet.
• Bake at 350° for 11- 12 minutes for soft cookies, or up to a maximum of about 14-15 minutes for crunchier cookies, watching the edges to ensure they are lightly browned.
• Cool on wire racks.
