Frequently Asked Questions: What if I dont want to use a cake mix? Then you can use your own favorite homemade strawberry cookie recipe. I dont have one to share here so you will have to use your own or Google a recipe to use. Can I make the crunch topping without a food processor? Yes! Place the Oreos in a large ziploc bag and crush them with a rolling pin or heavy object. Just be sure not to crush them into a super fine powder because you want a little texture for the icing to grab these crumbs. Why does the crunch topping need to go on while the drizzle is wet? The melted vanilla wafers act like a glue. If it starts to harden, the strawberry crunch mixture wont stick to the cookies properly. Can I make these ahead of time? Yes. These cookies hold up well and can be made a day or two in advance for parties or events. How do I store any leftover cookies? Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 to 3 days for the best texture and flavor. Can I freeze Strawberry Crunch Cookies? You can freeze the plain baked cookies before adding the topping. Add the drizzle and crunch after thawing for the best texture. Ingredients Needed: (See Recipe Card Below For The Full Recipe)strawberry cake mix I used the smaller box of cake mix (13.25 ounce box). It was the Betty Crocker brand. I have not tested this out using a 15.25 ounce box or larger cake mix (like Pillsbury or Duncan Hines). It should work but I cannot tell you from experience.eggs if you have time, allow your eggs to come to room temperature. This helps them combine into the mixture much easier. vegetable oilwhite chocolate chipssprinkles these are optional but bring fun pops of color to the cookiesvanilla melting wafers Vanilla melting wafers can be found at most grocery stores these days. A lot of times they are located where the other cake decorating items are in the grocery store. I know Michaels also carries a bunch of them too. It can be white chocolate or vanilla whatever you can find. I used the Ghirardelli White vanilla flavored wafers (paid affiliated link) You could even gently melt some of the white chocolate chips, since you are already using them in this recipe anyways, and use those. You just gotta work in small batches or it will cool a bit too quickly.Golden Oreo cookies you dont have to use the Oreo cookie brand, you can use any brand you like. Just make sure it is vanilla flavored.strawberry Jell-O it doesnt have to be the Jell-O brand, you can use the store brand for a more affordable option.butter It doesnt matter if you use salted butter or unsalted butter. Either will work just fine. You are only using a couple of Tablespoons and there is very little salt in salted butter that it wont affect the taste.

The cookies should no longer look wet in the center.Let cool completely. In a food processor add the Oreos and pulse until they are crumbs. Alternatively, put the cookies into a Ziploc bag and crush with a heavy object like a rolling pin. Add the crumbs to a bowl along with the strawberry Jell-O and melted butter. Stir with a fork until completely combined.
