Instructions

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, cream cheese, brown sugar, and granulated sugar on medium speed until smooth and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes). Scrape the sides periodically.
Add the eggs and vanilla bean paste to the butter mixture, mixing on low until well combined.
Gradually add the flour mixture in small batches to the wet ingredients, mixing until no streaks of flour remain. Avoid over-mixing.
Fold in the freeze-dried strawberries, white chocolate chips, and graham cracker pieces using a wooden spoon or rubber spatula. Cover and refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Use a medium cookie scoop to place heaping balls of dough onto the sheet.
Bake for 10-11 minutes or until the cookies are set and edges are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack. Garnish with additional freeze-dried strawberries, white chocolate chips, and graham cracker pieces, if desired. Sprinkle lightly with flaky sea salt.

Notes

Chilling the dough helps in achieving the perfect textured cookie.
Feel free to adjust the amount of strawberries and chocolate chips based on personal preference.
Store cookies in an airtight container for freshness.
