1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Make the Cookie Dough:

In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg (or flax egg) and vanilla extract, and mix until combined.

3. Add Dry Ingredients:

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix until combined.

4. Fold in Strawberries and White Chocolate:

Gently fold in the crushed freeze-dried strawberries and white chocolate chips until evenly distributed in the dough.

5. Form the Cookies:

Use a spoon to scoop out dough (about 1-2 tablespoons per cookie) and roll it into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

6. Bake:

Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden and the centers are just set. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
