Dough:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup strawberry-flavored Jell-O mix (dry)
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh strawberries (optional)
Crunch Topping:
- 1/2 cup crushed graham crackers
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for topping)
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1/4 cup strawberry-flavored sprinkles (optional)
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cream Ingredients: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and dry strawberry Jell-O mix.
- Combine Wet And Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in the chopped fresh strawberries if using.
- Prepare Topping: In a small bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the strawberry-flavored sprinkles if desired.
- Shape Cookies: Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Sprinkle the crunch topping generously over each cookie dough ball.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set.
- Cool Cookies: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- You can customize these cookies by adding different flavored Jell-O mixes for variety.
