Strawberry Crunch Cookies Ultimate (Print-Friendly Version)

Tender, rich cookies featuring strawberry crunchy bits and chunks of real fruit creating wonderful sweetness and crispness.

# Ingredients You’ll Need:

→ Cookie Base

01 - 1 cup butter, room temperature, unsalted
02 - 1 cup white sugar
03 - 1 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
04 - 2 1/2 cups flour, plain
05 - 1/2 teaspoon salt

→ Strawberry and Crunch Elements

06 - 1 cup fresh strawberries, diced
07 - 1 cup Cap'n Crunch Strawberry Shortcake cereal

→ Garnish

08 - Confectioners' sugar for sprinkling (if you want)

# How to Make It:

01 - Get your oven hot at 350°F (175°C) and put parchment paper on your cookie sheets.
02 - Mix the soft butter with white and brown sugars in a big bowl until they're smooth and fluffy.
03 - Add eggs one by one to your butter-sugar mix, then pour in some vanilla. Keep mixing till it all looks blended.
04 - Take another bowl and mix the flour with salt.
05 - Slowly pour your dry stuff into wet stuff and stir until you get nice cookie dough.
06 - Toss in your chopped strawberries and strawberry cereal. Fold them in carefully so they're spread out evenly.
07 - Drop spoonfuls of dough onto your ready baking sheets with some space between them.
08 - Stick them in your hot oven for 30-45 minutes until the edges turn golden and middles aren't soft anymore.
09 - Take them out and let them sit on the sheets for a bit before moving to cooling racks. Shake some powdered sugar on top if you feel like it.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - Make sure you drain those strawberries really well or they'll make your dough too wet.
