Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Cream softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together for 3-5 minutes until light and fluffy.
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Stir in a splash of vanilla extract for flavor.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt until combined.
Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
Fold in crushed freeze-dried strawberries and strawberry cake mix evenly.
Scoop rounded balls of dough onto a lined baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.
Optionally, sprinkle extra crushed strawberries on top of each ball of dough.
Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are golden and the centers are set.
Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Combine crushed freeze-dried strawberries, graham crackers, and melted butter for the topping.
Press the crunch topping onto each cooled cookie for added texture.
Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.

Notes

For a more intense strawberry flavor, use additional freeze-dried strawberries in the topping.
Make sure the butter is softened to ensure easy mixing and creamy texture.
These cookies can be stored for up to a week in an airtight container.
