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

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: 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, use a hand or stand mixer to cream together the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, which usually takes about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the large egg and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined, enhancing the cookie’s flavor and texture.
  4. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to ensure they are evenly distributed before combining.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients while mixing on low speed. Stir just until the dough comes together; overmixing can make the cookies tough.
  6. Fold in Strawberry Jam, Cereal, and White Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the strawberry jam, crushed strawberry cereal, and white chocolate chips to evenly distribute these flavorful mix-ins without deflating the dough.
  7. Portion Dough: Drop rounded tablespoons of the dough onto the prepared baking sheets. Space them about 2 inches apart to allow room for spreading during baking.
  8. Bake the Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden while the centers remain slightly soft for a chewy texture.
  9. Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes to firm up, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely, which helps achieve the perfect crunch.

Notes

  • For best results, use room temperature butter to ensure it creams properly with the sugars.
  • Crushing the strawberry cereal finely will distribute the crunch flavor throughout the cookie.
  • Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days to maintain freshness.
  • You can substitute white chocolate chips with milk or dark chocolate chips if preferred.
  • Adjust baking time slightly if using a convection oven, reducing by 1-2 minutes.
