In a stand mixer beat softened butter, both sugars on medium speed until smooth and fluffy, about 4 minutes.
Add in the egg, egg yolk and vanilla bean paste. Beat until combined.
Add in all purpose flour, salt and baking soda. Mix until just combined, no flour streaks remaining.
Carefully fold in the freeze dried strawberries and white chocolate chips. Cover and chill for 30 minutes.
Using a 1-ounce cookie scoop or spoon, portion out the cookie dough and roll each scoop into smooth balls with your hands. Place them on a baking sheet, then chill for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
When you're ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350°F degrees. To a parchment lined baking sheet, place the cookie dough 2-3 inches a part. Bake for 10-11 minutes. Allow to cool before enjoying!
Notes
Remember the cookies will continue baking as they cool. 10-11 minutes is my sweet spot unless you make them larger.
