Strawberry Crunch Cookies are soft, chewy treats with a nostalgic fruity twist. Featuring strawberry-flavored dough and a crunchy topping inspired by strawberry shortcake ice cream bars, they’re fun, eye-catching, and packed with flavor—perfect for parties or gifting.

Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 package (3.4 oz) strawberry pudding mix or 1/2 cup freeze-dried strawberries, ground
  • Optional: 3/4 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1 cup Golden Oreos, crushed
  • 1/3 cup freeze-dried strawberries, crushed
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract.
  5. Add strawberry pudding mix or ground freeze-dried strawberries to the wet ingredients and mix well.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture until a dough forms.
  7. Fold in white chocolate chips, if using.
  8. In a separate bowl, combine crushed Oreos, crushed freeze-dried strawberries, and melted butter to make the crunch topping.
  9. Form dough into balls and place on prepared baking sheet. Press some crunch topping onto each cookie.
  10. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until edges are just golden. Do not overbake.
  11. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

  • Use strawberry pudding mix for a soft texture or freeze-dried strawberries for a more natural flavor.
  • Add a drop of pink or red gel food coloring for a brighter cookie.
  • Skip the white chocolate chips for a classic flavor or sub in cream cheese chips.
  • Turn cookies into sandwich cookies with a frosting filling.
  • Freeze cookie dough balls and bake from frozen with 1–2 extra minutes.
