Strawberry Crunch Bites (Printable Version)

# What You'll Need:

→ Dough

01 - 225 grams unsalted butter, brought to room temp
02 - 200 grams white sugar
03 - 110 grams brown sugar
04 - 2 big eggs
05 - 2 teaspoons vanilla
06 - 315 grams plain flour
07 - 1 teaspoon baking soda
08 - Half a teaspoon salt

→ Mix-ins and Coating

09 - 25 grams freeze-dried strawberries, smashed up
10 - 175 grams white choc chips
11 - 1 cup strawberry crunch, for coating

# How to Make It:

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.

# Additional Tips:

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.
