Strawberry white chip cookies are a delicious strawberry cookie that uses white chocolate chips and real strawberries. This cookie is a great Valentine's day cookie or the perfect spring time taste of strawberries and cream.
We love making this cookie for Valentine's day because of it's fun and natural pink color.
This was inspired by our Almond Cherry Chip cookies, and Raspberry Cheesecake Cookies, other great valentine's day cookies!
Ingredients
- Butter - make sure to soften the butter before making to have the right texture.
- White sugar
- Brown sugar
- Eggs
- Vanilla extract
- All purpose flour
- Baking soda
- Table Salt
- White chocolate chips
- Freeze dried strawberries - I love making this recipe with freeze dried strawberries. You can also use chopped fresh strawberries as a substitute. Freeze dried strawberries give the cookies a fun pink color that may be lost if you use fresh strawberries.
See recipe card for quantities.
Instructions
Place freeze dried strawberries in a ziplock bag and lightly crush to create smaller pieces.
Cream butter and sugars. Add eggs and extract and beat until light and fluffy.
Mix in flour, baking soda, salt, and the crushed freeze dried strawberries.
You should have a nice pink dough.
Add white chocolate chips and mix briefly.
Form into smalls balls, about 1 inch, and space in rows. Space each dough ball out by about 2 inches.
Bake for 8-10 minutes at 350 degrees.
Hint: Make sure to keep an eye on the cookies while they are baking. Because all ovens and regions are different, start checking around 8 minutes to see if your cookies are done. Cook according to how soft or crispy you like your cookies.
Substitutions
- Fresh Strawberries - I love making this recipe with freeze dried strawberries. But you can also use chopped fresh strawberries. Freeze dried strawberries give the cookies a fun pink color that may be lost if you use fresh strawberries. But the results will still leave you delicious strawberry cookies!
Variations
- Milk Chocolate Chips - Change the white chocolate chips to milk chocolate chips to get a delicious chocolate dipped strawberry tasting cookie!
Equipment
When making cookies we like either using a large mixing bowl and this hand mixer or a stand mixer like this one.
You will also need baking sheets and either parchment paper or a silicone baking mat, to easily get the cookies off of the baking sheet.
Storage
Store leftover cookies in an airtight container for 3-4 days.
You can freeze any leftover cooked cookies in an airtight container or freezer bag for 1 month. Eat cookies frozen, or warm them in the microwave before eating.
Top tip
Remember to not overcook the cookies! These cookies are best soft and gooey, keep an eye on them to get the doneness that is right for you!
When using freeze dried strawberries, I like to crush them slightly before mixing them in. I like how the strawberry powder gets throughout the dough.

No, this recipe uses real strawberries and does not use cake mix.
Freeze dried strawberries give the dough a fun pink color that would be great for a valentines day cookie. The pink color comes from the freeze dried strawberry powder.
Fresh strawberries are also great to use. You won't have the same pink dough, but fresh strawberries can sometimes be easier to find.
But freeze dried strawberries and fresh strawberries give the strawberries and cream cookies a unique real strawberry taste unlike other cake mix strawberry cookies.
