Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 212 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 (12-ounce) bag white chocolate chips
Flavor Enhancers:
- 2 tablespoons strawberry Jell-O mix
- 1 (3.4-ounce) package white chocolate instant pudding
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Leavening and Seasoning:
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for smooth cookie removal and even baking.
- In a mixing bowl, cream together butter, sugar, and strawberry Jell-O mix until the mixture becomes light, fluffy, and develops a vibrant pink hue, which intensifies the strawberry flavor.
- Incorporate eggs individually, ensuring complete blending after each addition, then mix in vanilla extract to enhance the overall taste profile.
- Sift flour, pudding mix, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl to eliminate potential lumps and guarantee uniform distribution of dry ingredients.
- Slowly fold dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until a cohesive, soft dough forms without overmixing.
- Fold white chocolate chips into the dough, reserving a few for decorative topping just before baking.
- Scoop dough into 1½-inch balls, placing them on the prepared baking sheet with slight spacing. Bake for 9-10 minutes, aiming for a slightly underbaked center that will continue setting during cooling.
- Allow cookies to rest on the baking sheet for 3-4 minutes to stabilize, then transfer to a wire rack for complete cooling and optimal texture development.
Notes
- Always use room temperature butter for the smoothest, most evenly mixed dough that creates soft, tender cookies.
- Swap out white chocolate chips with freeze-dried strawberry pieces for an intense, natural strawberry flavor that amplifies the Jell-O mix.
- For gluten-free options, replace all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend to maintain the cookie’s delicate texture.
- Refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent spreading and create thicker, more structured cookies with crisp edges.
