Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line two large baking sheets with either silicone mats or parchment paper. Set them aside.
Place the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar in a large mixing bowl. Cream the sugars and butter together until fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla and beat until smooth.
1 cup unsalted butter, 1 cup granulated sugar, ⅔ cup brown sugar, 2 large eggs, 2 tsp vanilla extract
Sift in the flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder. Beat until combined. Add the cream cheese chips and 2 packs of the strawberries and beat until just combined.
2½ cup all-purpose flour, 2 tsp salt, 1 tsp baking soda, ½ tsp baking powder, 200g (7oz) cream cheese flavored chips **, 3 (11g, 1oz) packs freeze-dried strawberries ***
Scoop heaping tablespoons of the dough and roll them into balls. Arrange them on the baking sheet with plenty of space around each cookie. Press each cookie to form them into thick discs. Transfer the cookies to the oven and bake for 12 minutes or until lightly golden. Transfer the cookies to a cooling rack and set them aside.
Place the remaining pack of strawberries in a food processor and blitz until a fine powder forms. Transfer the strawberry dust to a small strainer and dust the surface of the cookies.
