Description
Delightful cookies combining the sweetness of strawberries with a crunchy topping, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup strawberry-flavored gelatin mix
- 1/2 cup finely chopped fresh strawberries (optional)
- 1/2 cup crushed graham crackers
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar for topping
- 1/4 cup melted butter for topping
- 2 tablespoons strawberry-flavored sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and creamy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing on medium speed until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and strawberry-flavored gelatin. Gradually add this dry mixture into the wet ingredients, blending until just mixed.
- If using, gently fold in the chopped strawberries.
- For the topping, mix the crushed graham crackers, sugar, and melted butter in a small bowl until it clumps slightly, adding sprinkles if desired.
- Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each mound.
- Generously sprinkle the graham cracker topping over each mound before baking.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, until edges are lightly golden and centers look set.
- Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
