Ingredients

Scale

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

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. Form Cookies: Using a tablespoon, drop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing each about 2 inches apart to allow spreading.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
