Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened Make sure it is at room temperature.
  • 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 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup strawberry jam
  • 1 cup crushed strawberry-flavored cereal (e.g., Special K Strawberry) Ensure it's crisp for the crunchy texture.
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips Can substitute with dark chocolate if desired.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined—be careful not to overmix.
  6. Gently fold in the strawberry jam, crushed strawberry cereal, and white chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Baking
  1. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  2. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Serve with vanilla ice cream or drizzle with melted white chocolate for added flavor. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or freeze for up to three months.
