💡 Tips
-
Soft texture: Don’t overbake; cookies will firm as they cool.
-
Freeze-dried vs fresh strawberries: Freeze-dried keeps cookies from getting too wet.
-
Extra cheesecake flavor: Swirl in a bit of cream cheese frosting on top before baking.
-
Storage: Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
