Ingredients
- 100 g Shortbread Cookies
- 80 g Freeze Dried Strawberries divided 20g & 60g
- 45 g Melted Butter
- 227 g Salted Butter room temp, 2 sticks
- 180 g Brown Sugar
- 190 g Cane Sugar
- 1 Egg + 2 Yolks
- 10 g Vanilla Extract
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Baking Soda
- 320 g All-Purpose Flour
- 150 g White Chocolate Chips
Instructions
- Add the shortbread cookies to a food processor and blitz until you achieve pea-sized pieces. Then, add 20g of freeze dried strawberries and the melted butter. Blitz for another 15-30 seconds until the butter is incorporated and you are left with a fine strawberry crumble.
- Add the room temperature butter, brown sugar, and cane sugar to the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment. Cream the sugar and butter on a medium speed, then add the egg and egg yolks. Continue mixing until the eggs, butter, and sugar become light and airy. Lastly, add the vanilla extract and mix to combine.
- Turn the mixer off and add the baking soda, flour, salt, and 60g freeze dried strawberries. Mix on a low speed until the flour is halfway incorporated. Add the white chocolate chips and finish mixing, just until the flour is fully incorporated. Do not over mix.
- Scoop the cookie dough into 80g balls and then roll/press the dough balls into the strawberry shortcake crumble. Place the coated dough balls onto a parchment lined cookie sheet. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2-3 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 350℉. Line the cookie sheet with parchment paper and evenly place 8 cookie dough balls on it.
- Bake the cookies for 15-18 minutes, until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set but still very soft. Enjoy!
