Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Strawberry Crunch Cookies
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Gather all ingredients and equipment.
- In a mixing bowl, cream together butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (3-5 minutes).
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing well. Pour in vanilla extract and mix until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to wet ingredients until just combined.
- Fold in freeze-dried strawberries and strawberry cake mix until evenly distributed.
- Scoop dough onto a lined baking sheet, leaving 2 inches between each scoop. Optional: sprinkle extra strawberries on top.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden and centers are set. Keep an eye on them during the last minutes.
- Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Mix crushed freeze-dried strawberries, crushed graham crackers, and melted butter for the topping. Press onto cooled cookies.

Notes
Chill the dough for 30 minutes for enhanced chewiness. Use a cookie scoop for uniform size, and experiment with ingredient substitutions if desired.
