Ingredient Notes
- Golden Oreos: I recommend using golden oreo thins for smaller filling to cookie ratio, but you can absolutely use regular golden oreo cookies if you'd like.
- Freeze Dried Strawberries: These are incredibly potent and add that sweet strawberry flavor we're looking for!
- Kosher Salt: Do not skip the salt! It is essential to balancing out the sweetness and amplifying the flavors.
- Unsalted Butter: You'll need about 4 tablespoon of melted butter. Alternatively, you can use vegan butter.
- Vanilla: Vanilla extract rounds out the flavor and gives it that classic nostalgic flavor we're looking for.

Baking in grams
All of the recipes on this blog are carefully developed with gram measurements so you can easily recreate them in your own kitchen with success. Volume measurements are extremely inaccurate and leave room for significant errors. Not all measuring cups are made equally, so your one cup of flour will be different from my one cup of flour. By providing precise measurements in grams (aside from minor ingredients, which are given in tsp/tbsp), you can make these recipes accurately and with less cleanup! All you need is this kitchen scale.
If this still isn't enough to convince you, I have provided volume measurements in the recipe card. If you are interested in understanding the conversions, this is the best conversion chart.
But trust me, once you try baking in grams you'll never turn back!
Happy baking! x
