Ingredients
Scale
Dough:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Additional Ingredients:
- ½ cup strawberry jam or preserves
- 3–4 store-bought strawberry Pop-Tarts, chopped
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1–2 teaspoons milk
- Pink or red food coloring (optional)
- Rainbow sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream butter and sugars: In a large bowl, cream the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract.
- Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture until just combined.
- Add mix-ins: Gently fold in the chopped Pop-Tarts, strawberry jam, and white chocolate chips.
- Bake: Scoop dough into 2-tablespoon-sized balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets. Bake for 10–12 minutes, until lightly golden. Cool on the pan before transferring to a wire rack.
- Make glaze: Mix powdered sugar with milk until smooth, adding food coloring if desired. Drizzle over cooled cookies and top with sprinkles.
Notes
- Use a small spoon to swirl the jam into the dough without overmixing.
- These cookies freeze well—store unglazed and add frosting after thawing.
