Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup strawberry jam
Dry Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Add-ins
- 1 cup crushed strawberry-flavored cereal (e.g., Special K Strawberry)
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, beat together the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and packed brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, which usually takes about 3-4 minutes using an electric mixer.
- Add Egg and Vanilla: Incorporate the large egg and vanilla extract into the butter and sugar mixture, beating well until the ingredients are fully combined and smooth.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening agent and seasoning.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the cookies tender.
- Fold in Strawberry Components: Carefully fold in the strawberry jam, crushed strawberry-flavored cereal, and white chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly dispersed throughout the dough.
- Form Cookies: Using a tablespoon, drop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing each about 2 inches apart to allow spreading.
- Bake: Place the trays in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges turn a light golden brown while the centers remain soft.
- Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes to set before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely, preserving their chewy texture.
Notes
- For a stronger strawberry flavor, use high-quality strawberry jam and fresh strawberry-flavored cereal.
- Do not overbake to maintain a soft and chewy center.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- Crushed cereal can be adjusted for texture preference – more for extra crunch, less for softer cookies.
- White chocolate chips can be substituted with milk or dark chocolate chips if preferred.
