Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 3/4 cup Cake Flour
- 1 tsp. Cornstarch
- 1/2 tsp. Baking Soda
- 1/2 tsp. Baking Powder
- 1/2 tsp. Salt
Wet Ingredients
- 8 Tbsp. Unsalted Butter, cold, cubed (1/2 cup)
- 1/2 cup Brown Sugar, packed (dark or light)
- 1/4 cup Granulated White Sugar
- 1 Large Egg
- 1 Large Egg Yolk (no white)
- 1 tsp. Vanilla Extract
- 2 tsp. Strawberry Emulsion
Add-ins
- 15 Golden Oreos, roughly chopped
- 1.2 oz. Freeze Dried Strawberries (34 grams)
- 3/4 cup White Chocolate Chips
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking your cookies.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cake flour, cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until well mixed. Set aside.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: Using a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the cold cubed butter with the brown sugar and granulated white sugar. Beat for about 4 minutes until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Incorporate the large egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract into the creamed butter and sugar mixture, blending until combined.
- Mix in Dry Ingredients and Add-ins: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Then fold in the roughly chopped Golden Oreos, freeze dried strawberries, white chocolate chips, and strawberry emulsion gently to ensure they are evenly distributed.
- Shape Cookies: Shape the dough into 6 large equal-sized cookies. Place them spaced on a baking sheet lined with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Bake Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers remain soft.
- Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 15 minutes to firm up, then transfer to a wire cooling rack to cool completely. Enjoy your delicious Strawberry Shortcake Cookies!
Notes
- Using a combination of all-purpose and cake flour contributes to a tender yet sturdy cookie texture.
- Cold butter helps create a thicker cookie with a nice crumbly texture.
- Do not overmix once the dry ingredients are added to prevent tough cookies.
- Freeze dried strawberries add intense strawberry flavor without adding moisture.
- Substitute Golden Oreos with any crispy vanilla sandwich cookie for variation.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- For softer cookies, slightly underbake and allow to finish setting while cooling.
