The Cookie Recipe You've Been Waiting For + 11 Days To Go 🥳

Published 2 months ago • 2 min read

hi there Reader

strawberries & cream cookies

When I was dreaming up a new cookie recipe to add to our Cookie Collection, I couldn’t stop thinking about berries. I landed on creating a beautiful Strawberries And Cream Cookie from scratch.

So I conducted a cookie experiment, making the same cookie dough three times – but one with fresh berries, one with frozen berries and one with freeze-dried berries.

The truth is, they all worked. But the cookie dough with fresh berries was wet and harder to work with - same for the frozen ones. The cookies were also a bit soggy.

But the freeze-dried berries worked beautifully, without sacrificing that buttery, soft and chewy texture we all know and love. So I got to work and created the ultimate dessert cookie.

Buttery golden cookie dough stuffed with freeze-dried strawberries and big chunks of white chocolate.

But I couldn’t stop there! I also added a super simple whipped cream to make these into gourmet frosted cookies that look like they’ve stepped out of your favourite cookie bakery.

hi there Reader a new video for you ❤️ Whenever I develop a recipe, I feel like I have so much to say!
