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’m so excited about these! Could they be made as a bar?
i believe so! i haven’t tried it but i’d bet they’d be great if you pressed them into a 9-inch pan.
Very similar recipe, same title and everything from 2014

actually i just looked at the recipe and it’s completely different. the measurements are completely different as well as the use of freeze dried strawberries vs dried strawberries. so not sure what you’re implying.
if you’re being a troll, just DM me on IG, it’s easier to have a dialogue there. don’t hide behind a fake username. 🙂
I’ve made these at least 5 times and each time they’re perfect and there’s never any leftovers. I bring them in to work and usually at least triple the batch and I never have any problems! Will try with freeze dried mixed berries soon!
Used this recipe as a base for one of my valentine’s day desserts – the only things I really changed was adding two tbsp of matcha powder to the dry ingredients and mixing in a cup of freeze dried raspberries instead of the strawberries. It turned out so delicious, and the cookies looked beautiful – my girlfriend said it’s one of her favorite things we’ve baked so far!
These were amazing!! I made these today for early Valentine’s Day cookies and everyone loved them. I followed the recipe exactly except after adding the freeze dried strawberries,I also added the same amount of dried whole strawberries(diced with 1/4 cup flour) for extra chewiness. I will make these again.
Ok, so first of all these cookies are delicious and my husband who only likes subway cookies said these are better than that. S hopefully that’s a compliment secondly, my cookies came out totally flat, so when I took them out of the oven they had that nice puff to them they they deflated and were flat cookies, did I do something wrong? All my ingredients are fresh I’ve been non stop making cookies all week, but can’t for the life of me figure out why they are flat. Still taste bomb as hell tho.
SO yummy – mine didn’t flatten very well, which was probably an error on my end. But the flavor is 10/10
I’ve made cookies with freeze dried strawberries that are covered in chocolate. I just subbed them out for about half of the chocolate chips, and they turned out wonderfully. These look delicious!
10/10 incredible recipe. made the giant batch to deliver to friends for valentine’s day, and have had only enthusiastic responses about how delicious this cookie is! soft, sweet, comforting… one friend texted me “I can’t even put into words how emotional that cookie made me”. will definitely be making again and again!
I halved the recipe to make 18 cookies. Instead of white chocolate chips, I used a chopped white chocolate bar (Ghirardelli) because that’s what I prefer. I also added more crushed strawberries. I do wish it had more of a strawberry taste but it’s a tasty cookie nonetheless!
