Common Questions About Strawberry Crunch Cookies

Can Fresh Strawberries Be Used Instead of Strawberry Emulsion?

While strawberry emulsion provides a concentrated flavor without altering the dough’s moisture, finely chopped fresh strawberries or a dollop of strawberry preserves can add a burst of natural sweetness. Adjust the dough accordingly to maintain the perfect texture.

Just keep in mind that it will alter the texture of the dough as well as how it performs when baked.

What’s the Key to Getting That Perfect Crunch Topping?

The magic lies in the combination of crushed Golden Oreos, melted butter, and a sprinkle of strawberry Jello mix. For the best crunch, ensure the Oreos are finely processed in a food processor.

Can I Prepare These Cookies Ahead for My Next Party?

Certainly! Shape the cookies and freeze them on a lined baking sheet. Once firm, transfer to an airtight container and bake from frozen, adding a couple of minutes to the baking time.

Storage

One time, I made a giant cookie for the kids with this recipe. I wasn’t sure how it would turn out, but they gave me a five-star rating. Ha!

Refrigerator

Cool the cookies completely and store them in an airtight container, layered between sheets of parchment paper, to keep them fresh for up to 3 days.

Freezer

For longer storage, freeze the baked cookies in a single layer before transferring them to a freezer-safe bag, enjoying a taste of summer anytime within 3 months.

Tips

These delicious cookies are perfect for anything from a baby shower to a warm night in. You don’t necessarily need special occasions to enjoy things like this!
