# Guide to Cooking:
01 -
Heat your oven to 175°C and line a tray with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
02 -
Grab a large bowl and whip up both sugars with the butter till it looks pale and fluffy.
03 -
Crack in your eggs one by one, beating well each time, and then stir in vanilla extract.
04 -
Mix flour, salt, and baking soda together in a separate bowl so it's all blended.
05 -
Slowly pour the dry mix into the wet bowl and mix just enough to stop seeing flour streaks.
06 -
Fold in crushed freeze-dried strawberries and the white chocolate bits nice and gently.
07 -
Scoop out dough balls, about 4 cm wide, roll them in the strawberry crunch stuff, and set aside.
08 -
Give your dough balls some space—around 5 cm apart—on the tray and slide them into the oven. Bake till the edges turn golden, about 10 to 12 minutes.
09 -
Leave cookies to chill on the tray for 5 minutes first, then move them to a rack till they're totally cool.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
Crush freeze-dried strawberries into tiny bits for a crunchier bite.
02 -
Stash cookies in a container with a tight lid to keep them soft and tasty.
