In a large bowl, cream together softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
Gradually mix in flour, baking powder, and salt until a smooth dough forms.
2. Shape & Bake the Cookies
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Scoop dough into balls and flatten slightly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Let cookies cool completely on a wire rack.
3. Prepare the Strawberry Crunch Topping
In a small bowl, mix crushed freeze-dried strawberries, vanilla wafer crumbs, and melted butter.
Set aside until ready to use.
4. Make the Strawberry Glaze
Whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and strawberry puree until smooth.
Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cookies.
5. Add the Crunch and White Chocolate Drizzle
While the glaze is still wet, sprinkle the strawberry crunch topping generously over each cookie.
Drizzle melted white chocolate on top for an extra layer of sweetness and creaminess.
Let set completely before serving.
