Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Cream together the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
  3. Add the large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Pour in the vanilla extract and mix until smooth.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix this into the wet ingredients.
  5. Fold in the crushed freeze-dried strawberries and white chocolate chips into the dough.
  6. Carefully fold in the cold cream cheese cubes, maintaining some chunks intact.
  7. Scoop the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space for spreading. Optionally sprinkle with crushed graham crackers.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are lightly golden while centers remain soft.
  9. Let cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

Use cold cream cheese for distinct chunks. Avoid overmixing to keep cookies soft. Chilling dough helps if it's too soft to scoop.
