🍓 Strawberry Crunch Cookies 🍓
These delightful Strawberry Crunch Cookies are soft, flavorful, and topped with a crunchy strawberry-vanilla crumble—perfect for a sweet treat!
🍪 Ingredients:
For the Cookies:
1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
¼ tsp baking powder
¼ tsp baking soda
⅛ tsp salt
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
¾ cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
For the Strawberry Crunch Topping:
1 cup strawberry-flavored cereal (like Strawberry Cheerios or a similar crunchy cereal)
2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
2 tbsp granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
🍽️ Instructions:
Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Make the cookie dough:
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 3-5 minutes).
Beat in the egg and mix until combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
Prepare the strawberry crunch topping:
In a small bowl, combine the strawberry-flavored cereal, melted butter, sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir until well mixed and the cereal is coated with the butter mixture.
Form the cookies:
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Gently press a small indentation in the center of each cookie and fill it with a spoonful of the strawberry crunch topping.
Bake the cookies:
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers should look set but still soft.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
📝 Pro Tip:
For an extra burst of strawberry flavor, you can also add some finely chopped dried strawberries into the cookie dough!
💖 Enjoy these sweet, strawberry-infused cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite warm drink!
