Back in February someone posted a recipe for strawberry cookies with white chocolate chunks. I printed it out, but never got around to trying it until this week. They're a little sweet, so if I make them again I might cut back on the sugar some. I also doubled the recipe so I didn't have to cut a bar of cream cheese or butter in half. :) And it called for a bar of white chocolate, chopped or shredded, but I adapted...
1 1/4 c flour
1/4 c unsalted butter -softened
4 oz cream cheese -softened
3/4 c sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
3/4 c chopped strawberries (I had a small bag of frozen strawberries in the freezer that I had thawed and drained)
1 bag of white chocolate chips
Preheat to 350. (It says to line pans with parchment paper, but I didn't have any so just lightly greased by cookie sheets.)
Beat butter and sugar and cream cheese until fluffy.
Add egg and vanilla and mix well.
Gradually add flour until well combined.
Stir in chocolate.
In a side bowl, toss strawberries with 1-2 T of flour until coated. Gently add them to the mixture.
Drop in heaping T onto cookie sheet, leaving about an inch in between.
Bake for 13-15 minutes.
Cool a little before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
Restaurants here are open for drive-thru and take out. I realized this week that one of the things I enjoy about us going out (and it's usually to Bojangles or Zaxby's) is that it gives me a few minutes out of the house without worrying about dishes or the phone to think before we move on to the next task. And I have really missed that. But I have enjoyed making dishes that I haven't made in a while (though starting Sunday it's back to watching sugar intake!) and trying a few new things. And even though I don't have a lot of appointments and meetings, it's enough that I have really enjoyed having a breather these last few days. I'm looking forward to the next twenty-one days of solitude and have quite a few things I hope to accomplish.
