Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Dough

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup white sugar
  • 3/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 2 eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon strawberry extract
  • 15 drops red or pink liquid food coloring
  • 2 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Add-ins

  • 20 Golden Oreos, chopped
  • 1 box (3.4 oz) strawberry Jello powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter, white sugar, and light brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This will give your cookies a soft and tender texture.
  3. Add Eggs and Flavor: Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring they are fully incorporated. Then add the strawberry extract and red or pink liquid food coloring and mix until the color is uniform throughout the dough.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and strawberry Jello powder. The Jello powder adds a fruity flavor and a slight crunch to the cookies.
  5. Mix Dry Ingredients into Wet: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined to avoid overworking the dough and resulting in tough cookies.
  6. Fold in Oreos: Gently fold in the chopped Golden Oreos, distributing them evenly throughout the dough without crushing them too much.
  7. Form Cookies: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
  8. Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers remain soft.
  9. Cool: Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Serve and Enjoy: Once cooled, serve your Strawberry Crunch Cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage and enjoy the delightful combination of flavors and textures.

Notes

  • Ensure butter is softened, not melted, for best texture.
  • Use room temperature eggs to help the dough blend evenly.
  • For a stronger strawberry flavor, you can increase the strawberry extract to 1 1/2 teaspoons.
  • Chill dough for 30 minutes if you want thicker cookies.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
  • To keep oreos crunchy, fold them in gently and avoid over-mixing.
