# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat the oven to 175°C and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
02 - Beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar for 3-5 minutes until mixture is pale and fluffy.
03 - Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
04 - Whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl until well mixed.
05 - Gradually add the dry mixture to the butter mixture, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
06 - Gently fold in the crushed freeze-dried strawberries and strawberry cake mix until evenly distributed.
07 - Scoop rounded balls of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing each about 5 cm apart. Optionally, sprinkle extra crushed strawberries on top.
08 - Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers are just set.
09 - Allow cookies to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
10 - Mix the crushed freeze-dried strawberries, crushed graham crackers, and melted butter together in a small bowl.
11 - Press the prepared crunch topping gently onto each cooled cookie for added texture.
12 - Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.

# Extra Tips:

01 - Beating the butter and sugars thoroughly creates a delicate texture in the final product.
02 - Incorporate strawberries gently to prevent them from becoming mushy and to preserve vibrant color and flavor.
