  • 2 Tablespoons cornstarch
  • 0.5 cup butter, softened
  • 0.5 cup butter flavored shortening
  • 3 number eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Frosting
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 0.25 cup butter, softened
  • 0.5 Tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 3.5 cups powdered sugar
  • 1-3 Tablespoons milk to achieve desired consistency

Equipment

  • food processor
  • Mixer
  • baking sheet
  • measuring cups
  • Medium bowl
  • silicone mat

Method
 

Cookie Preparation
  1. Add Golden Oreos to a food processor and pulse until you have crumbs. Pour 1 cup into a bowl. Add freeze dried strawberries to the food processor and pulse until you have a powder. Put 1 ¼ cups freeze dried strawberry powder into the Golden Oreo crumbs. Add the softened butter and mix until combined. Set aside.
  2. Preheat the oven to 350°.
  3. Combine the strawberry cake mix, all purpose flour, and cornstarch in a large bowl. Whisk the ingredients together. Add the softened butter, shortening, eggs, and vanilla extract to the dry mixture and cream together with a mixer until thick.
  4. Use a ¼ cup to measure out cookie dough onto a silicone mat or parchment lined baking sheet. Round the cookie dough mounds into discs, baking 6 cookies at a time. Bake for 11-13 minutes until the cookies are baked through but not overbaked. Cool completely on the baking sheet.
Frosting Preparation
  1. While the cookies cool, make the frosting. In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese, softened butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk. Mix until thick but spreadable. Add more milk if needed.
  2. Spread the frosting on top of each cookie or pipe the frosting. Add Strawberry Crunch Topping to the top of each cookie.
