Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Cream softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar for 3-5 minutes until light and fluffy.
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Stir in a splash of vanilla extract for added flavor.
Whisk flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl until combined.
Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
Fold in crushed freeze-dried strawberries and strawberry cake mix evenly.
Scoop rounded balls of dough onto a lined baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.
Optionally, sprinkle extra crushed strawberries on top of each scoop.
Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden and centers are set.
Cool cookies on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Mix crushed freeze-dried strawberries, crushed graham crackers, and melted butter for the topping.
Press the crunch topping onto each cooled cookie for added texture.
Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.

Notes

Ensure the butter is softened for easier mixing.
You can adjust the amount of freeze-dried strawberries for a stronger strawberry flavor.
These cookies can be frozen for up to three months.
