Strawberry Shortcake Cookies
Description
These cookies use a blend of all-purpose and cake flours with cornstarch and leaveners to create a tender but sturdy dough. Cold butter is creamed with brown and granulated sugars to develop a fluffy base, followed by eggs, vanilla, and strawberry emulsion for flavor depth. The inclusion of roughly chopped Golden Oreo pieces and freeze-dried strawberries adds texture and bursts of sweetness, complemented by white chocolate chips.
Baked at 375°F for around 10-12 minutes, the cookies develop lightly golden edges while maintaining a soft interior. Cooling on the baking sheet before transferring ensures fragility is minimized.
They can be sized smaller by adjusting the dough portions and baking times. To preserve freshness, freeze in an airtight bag for up to three months. Homemade cake flour can be substituted by combining all-purpose flour with cornstarch.
