  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup freeze-dried strawberries crushed

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, cream cheese, and sugar with an electric mixer for 2-3 minutes until fluffy.
  3. Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt; gradually add to the wet ingredients mixing on low speed until just combined.
  5. Fold in the crushed freeze-dried strawberries, white chocolate chips, and graham cracker crumbs if using.
  6. Scoop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Notes

For extra flavor, melt cream cheese with a dusting of powdered sugar and milk to make a glaze to drizzle over cookies.
Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 4 days at room temperature or freeze for longer storage.
Dough can be frozen for up to 3 months; bake directly from the freezer, adding 1-2 extra minutes to the bake time.
If you don't have freeze-dried strawberries, substitute with 1/3 cup of strawberry jam swirled into the dough for a different flavor.
