Ingredients
Scale
- 2 3/4 cups all purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
- 4 ounces full fat cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 3/4 cup white granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla bean paste
- 1 cup freeze dried strawberries, roughly chopped
- 3/4 cup white chocolate chips
- 3/4 cup graham cracker pieces, roughly chopped
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt with a whisk and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat softened butter, cream cheese, brown sugar, and granulated sugar on medium speed until smooth and fluffy for about 2-3 minutes, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl periodically.
- Add eggs and vanilla bean paste to the butter mixture and mix on low until combined.
- Gradually add the flour mixture in small batches while mixing on low until just combined without any visible flour streaks.
- Fold in freeze-dried strawberries, white chocolate chips, and graham cracker pieces using a wooden spoon or rubber spatula. Cover and chill the dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to an hour.
- After chilling, line a cookie sheet with parchment paper, and use a medium-sized cookie scoop to place heaping balls of cookie dough on the sheet.
- Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-11 minutes until set with golden brown edges.
- Let cool on a wire rack after baking, and garnish with additional freeze-dried strawberries, white chocolate chips, and graham cracker pieces while warm.
Notes
Chill the cookie dough to enhance flavors and prevent spreading.
For a deeper flavor, try adding a pinch of sea salt to the cookie dough.
Ensure butter and cream cheese are softened for better mixing.
