There are a lot of good pairings that make this cookie very special. We have strawberry and brown butter, which on their own are delightful but with their powers combined are like this magically tart caramel flavor rollercoaster. We also have marshmallow and oolong tea, which are kind of like milk tea in solid form (we can't be dumping an entire milk tea from the boba shop into a cookie!). All these ingredients together hopefully create a sweet treat that aspires to be a strawberry milk tea, a cookie can dream.

Yield
16 cookiesTime
2 hoursIngredients
Wet ingredients
2 sticks butter
1 cup plus 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
3/4 cups plus 1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 egg
Dry ingredients
3 packs of Trader Joe's freeze dried strawberries (3.6 oz total)
1 3/4 cups flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon oolong tea, ground
1 cup mini marshmallows
Preparation
Brown butter
Heat a small pot over medium heat. Add butter to the pan and stir frequently as it starts to melt and bubble. Look for little brown specks to start to appear and the color to change from yellow to a light amber, 3 to 5 minutes. Once it’s lightly browned, remove from the heat and transfer to a heatproof container to cool for at least 5 minutes.
Mix wet ingredients
In a mixing bowl, add in cooled brown butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla, and an egg. Vigorously mix together with a whisk until everything is smooth (like the texture of icing).
Mix dry ingredients
In a spice grinder or food processor, grind dried strawberries until it's a powder consistency. In a large mixing bowl, measure 6 tablespoons of strawberry powder along with flour, baking powder, baking soda, kosher salt, and oolong tea.
Add the bowl of wet ingredients (if the the sugar and butter mixture has thickened, just give it a little mix until smooth) into the bowl of dry ingredients. With a spatula, give it a loose mix until roughly combined (it's okay if it's shaggy). Add in marshmallows and give it another stir until the marshmallows are mixed in.
Make cookies
Preheat an oven to 375°F, then line a metal baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop 1/4 cup of cookie dough and make it into a flat, hockey puck shape with your hands and place onto a sheet pan. Leave a few inches of space between each puck of dough (I fit about 6 cookies on a 13x18 half sheet). Sprinkle cookie dough with flaky salt, then bake in the oven for 12 minutes until they've spread slightly and the tops are crackly and marshmallows melty. Cool cookies for 15 minutes until they've hardened and the bottoms are crusty. Serve with some milk and enjoy :)
