Preparation

Step 1

Preheat over to 325.

Stack two baking sheets together and line top sheet with parchment paper.

Cream sugar and butter with electric mixer on low speed until well blended.

Then add flour, vanilla, and whipping cream. Blend well.

When almost blended into a dough, add white chocolate and dried strawberries, mixing by hand to incorporate the chocolate and strawberries, and make a firm dough.

Knead dough gently on a lightly floured surface about 1 minute to make dough more firm and get it to hold together.

Flatten dough into a disk, wrap well, and refrigerate 30 minutes.

Roll out gently about 1/2 inch thick and cut into small round cookies (about 2 inches in diameter).

Place on prepared baking sheets.

Place in oven and immediately reduce heat to 300.

Bake until lightly browned around edges, about 40-50 minutes.

Cool well before removing with a metal spatula.
