Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 cup white chocolate chips
Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup. -
Cream the Butter and Sugars:
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 3-4 minutes. -
Add the Egg and Vanilla:
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until smooth and well-combined. -
Combine the Dry Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. -
Mix the Wet and Dry Ingredients:
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the dough. -
Add the Fun Ingredients:
Fold in the strawberry jam, crushed strawberry cereal, and white chocolate chips. This will give the dough its fruity crunch and creamy chocolate bits. -
Form the Cookies:
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. The dough will spread a little while baking, so make sure to leave enough room between the cookies. -
Bake the Cookies:
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set. -
Cool the Cookies:
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely
Notes
- Add a Touch of Lemon: For a citrusy twist, add a teaspoon of lemon zest to the dough to complement the strawberry flavor.
- Mix in More Berries: Swap out the strawberry jam for raspberry or blueberry jam, or add dried berries like raspberries or blueberries for extra fruitiness.
- More Chocolate: Add milk or dark chocolate chips along with the white chocolate for an extra chocolaty flavor
