21 oz. packagesfreeze dried strawberries, pulverized into a powder
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a cookie sheet with nonstick spray or line with parchment paper. Set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, add cream cheese and butter. Mix until combined. Add powdered sugar and mix together until well combined. Add egg and vanilla extract. Mix until just combined.
Add flour, baking powder, cheesecake pudding mix (just the powder, do not make the pudding), salt and freeze dried strawberry powder. Mix until the dough just comes together.
Using a cookie scoop, portion dough onto prepared cookie sheet 1-inch apart. Bake cookies for 10 to 12 minutes, until bottoms are just golden. The tops will still be a pale color. Let cool for 2 minutes on cookie sheet then move to a cooling rack.
Notes
To ensure you keep that perfect texture, make sure not to overbake them. You’ll know they are done when they are just lightly golden on the bottom. You don’t want them to be golden on top though so keep a close eye on them while baking.
