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 promote even baking.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, which incorporates air for a tender cookie texture.
  3. Add Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the large egg and vanilla extract thoroughly until well combined to create a smooth batter base.
  4. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening agents and seasoning.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients while mixing gently until the dough just comes together, avoiding overmixing to keep the cookies tender.
  6. Incorporate Jam and Crunch: Fold in the strawberry jam, crushed strawberry-flavored cereal, and white chocolate chips evenly through the dough, adding flavor and texture.
  7. Shape Cookies: Drop rounded tablespoons of the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each to allow for spreading.
  8. Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until the edges turn lightly golden, indicating a perfect bake.
  9. Cool: Let the cookies sit on the baking sheets for 5 minutes to firm up, then transfer them onto a wire rack to cool completely, allowing flavors to set and texture to solidify.

Notes

  • For extra strawberry flavor, consider swirling a bit more strawberry jam on top of each cookie before baking.
  • Be careful not to overbake; cookies will continue to firm as they cool.
  • If you prefer a chewier cookie, substitute half of the all-purpose flour with bread flour.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
