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

Mix-ins

  • 1 cup crushed strawberry-flavored cereal (e.g., Special K Strawberry)
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven and prepare baking sheets: Preheat the 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 butter, granulated sugar, and packed brown sugar until the mixture becomes light and fluffy, which usually takes 3-4 minutes using an electric mixer.
  3. Add egg and vanilla: Beat in the large egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated, creating a smooth, creamy mixture.
  4. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening agent and salt.
  5. Mix dry ingredients into wet: Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined to avoid overworking the dough which can result in tough cookies.
  6. Fold in jam, cereal, and white chocolate: Gently fold in the strawberry jam, crushed strawberry-flavored cereal, and white chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the cookie dough.
  7. Form cookies on baking sheets: Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing each about 2 inches apart to allow room for spreading during baking.
  8. Bake the cookies: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers remain soft.
  9. Cool before serving: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely to maintain their texture and prevent sogginess.

Notes

  • For a stronger strawberry flavor, consider using a premium or homemade strawberry jam.
  • Crushing the cereal finely helps distribute the strawberry crunch evenly in each bite.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days for best freshness.
  • White chocolate chips can be substituted with regular chocolate chips or chunks for a different flavor profile.
  • To make these cookies gluten-free, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free baking blend.
