Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar for 3-5 minutes until light and fluffy.
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Stir in the vanilla extract for added flavor.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
Fold in the 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 cookie dough ball.
Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are golden and the centers are set.
Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
For the topping, mix together crushed freeze-dried strawberries, crushed graham crackers, and melted butter.
Press the crunch topping onto each cooled cookie for added texture.
Store any remaining 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 dough and topping.
Ensure your butter is softened to room temperature for easy creaming.
Freezing the dough before baking can enhance the texture of the cookies.
