These Strawberry and Cream Cookies have such a strong strawberry flavor with a sweet hint from white chocolate. Chewy, soft, delicious and easy to make!
These cookies are SO good and so tasty. We can’t go and put real fresh strawberries and cookies because then they’ll be all soggy and gross. That’s where freeze-dried strawberries come into play. They are delicious and pack a huge strawberry flavor punch. And the “cream” comes from the white chocolate.
I used to give white chocolate some major side-eye but now I’m warming up to it, trying to like it. I think context is everything and in these cookies, the white chocolate is good. In other things…meh. We’ll see.
Ingredients for Strawberry and Cream Cookies
- All-purpose flour. Pretty standard flour that will yield a chewy, sturdy cookie
- Baking powder and baking soda. These cookies have both baking powder and baking soda. Baking powder makes gives them a nice lift and baking soda gives them color and spreads.
- Kosher salt. Of course, you need salt to balance the sweet.
- Butter. These cookies use melted butter which makes them easy to whip up at a moments notice.
- Brown sugar. Gives these cookies a nice chewy quality.
- Granulated sugar. The granulated sugar gives these cookies moistness, allows them to spread and contributes to their chewy texture.
- Eggs. These give these cookies a bit of height and binds all of the ingredients together.
- Freeze Dried Strawberries. I LOVE baking with freeze dried strawberries. They have a super potent strawberry flavor and are so easy to incorporate in all sorts of baked goods.
- White Chocolate Chips. This type of chocolate is sweet, mellow and compliments the strawberries and cookies in a super lovely way.
How to Make Strawberry and Cream Cookies
- Whisk the dry ingredients together. We have the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
- Stir the melted butter and sugars together.
- And then add the eggs and vanilla.
- Mix in the chopped up freeze dried strawberries and white chocolate chips.
- Chill the dough for 1 hour.
- Scoop out the cookie dough and bake!
- Serve them with milk.

I make these time and time again. These are a family favorite and are so easy to make. Thank you for this brilliant recipe!
These cookies are fantastic!! Made them for a cookie exchange and my coworkers loved it!!!! Thank you for the easy recipe.
love to hear it! yay!
Hello!
I remembered coming upon this recipe, and I desperately wanted to try it because it looked so good. Today, I made them and it was my first ever baking attempt. The cookies were a success! Thank you so much for posting this!
Just took these out of the oven and wow. Sooo good! I scaled the recipe down from yielding 36 cookies to 12 cookies. Highly recommend!
I made these yesterday and they were so delicious; my daughters say it’s their new favorite cookie! We like our cookies on the softer side so I baked them at 325F for about 11 or 12 minutes. Otherwise we followed the recipe exactly. We now have a bunch of frozen dough balls in the freezer and I am so happy to be able to have them on demand!
ahhh amazing. love that you baked them at 325F! sounds awesome.
Is the measurement for the freeze-dried strawberries before or after you crush them for the 1/2 cup?
it’s a 1/2 cup BEFORE you crush them. just so it’s easier. add it to a measuring cup, and then crush them up. 🙂
I made these but substituted King Arthur Gluten Free Measure for Measure in place of regular flour – it was a little trial and error as they didn’t spread the way the glutenous versions appear to. I pushed them fairly flat with a wooden spoon before baking and they came out fluffy and delightful!
The only change I would make next time is more strawberries 🙂
Everytime I make these they turn out SO delicious (sometimes I use dried raspberries too), however, no matter what I do they always end up very puffy and cakey. Should I be flattening them down before baking?
Hmm…that’s so strange. Next time, I would try baking them without chilling them and see how they turn out. Maybe just test it out with 1 or 2? The dough might be too cold…that’s the only thing I can think of.
Is it possible to make this wish fresh strawberries? Freeze-dried ones aren’t available where I live but fresh ones are! Excited to try this recipe! 🙂
hi! these definitely need freeze-dried. sorry!
If you’d like to use fresh or frozen strawberries, I’d suggest making these:
