- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup freeze-dried strawberries, crushed into small pieces (or substitute with strawberry cake mix)
For the Frosting (Optional):
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened (1 stick)
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup crushed Oreo cookies
- 1/4 cup crushed freeze-dried strawberries
- 1-2 tablespoons milk or heavy cream
Instructions/Directions:
- Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats. - Cream the Butter and Sugars:
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. - Add the Eggs and Vanilla:
Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated. - Combine Dry Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. - Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients:
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. - Fold in Cookies and Strawberries:
Gently fold in the crushed Oreo cookies and crushed freeze-dried strawberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough. - Scoop the Dough:
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop heaping tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. - Bake the Cookies:
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers are set. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
For the Frosting (Optional):
- Beat the Butter:
In a medium bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy. - Add Powdered Sugar:
Gradually mix in the powdered sugar until smooth and well combined. - Adjust Consistency:
Add milk or heavy cream, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach the desired frosting consistency. - Fold in Oreo and Strawberries:
Gently fold in the crushed Oreo cookies and freeze-dried strawberries to add flavor and texture. - Frost the Cookies:
Once the cookies have cooled, spread the frosting on top if desired.
