Ingredients needed

For these cookies, you will need:

• All purpose flour: The base of the cookie dough. Be sure to measure correctly.
• Brown sugar and white sugar: To sweeten the cookies.
• Boxed cheesecake mix: You’ll want to get the instant kind, about 3.4 ounces. I used JELL-O brand.
• Baking powder and baking soda: To help the cookies rise.
• Salt: You’ll need just ½ a teaspoon for these cookies.
• Butter: I recommend using unsalted butter so you can control the salt that goes into the recipe.
• Vanilla extract: I recommend using pure vanilla extract, if possible.
• Eggs: You’ll need two large eggs for this recipe.
• White chocolate chips and freeze dried strawberries: The mix ins for the cookie dough.

How to make these cookies

In a large mixing bowl combine the instant cheesecake mix, flour, brown sugar, white sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Mix well with a large spoon.

Next, mix in the butter, vanilla, and eggs. Mix with a hand mixer until everything is well combined. Dough may seem crumbly at first.

Stir in the white chocolate chips and freeze dried strawberries with a large spoon. Let the dough chill in your fridge for at least one hour.

Use about 2 tablespoons of cookie dough to form your cookies.

Bake on a greased baking sheet or a baking sheet with parchment paper (not wax paper) for 10 to 13 minutes at 350 degrees. Edges should be golden. Let them rest on the baking sheet for 10 minutes after baking. Be careful not over bake or it will cause the strawberries to burn.

Tips

• Be sure to chill your dough. If you skip this step then your cookies will be very flat.
• Do not melt the butter, it should be softened and not melted.
• Be sure to line your baking sheet with parchment paper, not wax paper.

How to store

You can store these cookies in an airtight container at room temperature. They will be good for up to 5 days.
