Strawberries and Cream Cookies, yes please! These amazing cookies are so soft and moist, and are bursting with the flavor of fresh strawberries. These cookies capture the feeling of the approaching summer. We definitely can't get enough of them over here!
I love spring time when everything comes alive again. I love sitting on my back deck listening to the birds and seeing the leaves budding on the trees. But mostly, I love that fresh produce is on the horizon. Can we give strawberries a standing ovation for coming on first? I love that strawberries give us a sneak peak to all the wonderful fruits and veggies to come.
Freeze Dried/Dehydrated Strawberries in Strawberries and Cream Cookies
Strawberries and Cream Cookies have the flavor of fresh strawberries in every bite. They are filled with the combination of dehydrated strawberry bits and dehydrated strawberry powder. The combination gives a 1,2 punch of strawberry flavor throughout the whole cookie.
Using a food processor (I use this one), pulse 1 cup of dehydrated strawberries into a fine powder. Then place another cup of dehydrated strawberries into a plastic bad and crush them into smaller pieces.
If you like bigger strawberry pieces, don't crush them as much. But note that there will be less strawberry pieces throughout your cookies.
Quick and Easy Strawberries and Cream Cookies
What I love about these cookies is how easy they are. Adding the strawberry pieces and strawberry powder adds amazing flavor in one simple step. After creaming the the sugar, butter and eggs together, mix in your dry ingredients. You'll mix these together well and then add in your strawberry pieces, strawberry powder and mix again.
The dough will have a beautiful light pink color throughout the dough. It looks so fresh, real and not artificial! Last, add in those creamy white chocolate chips to tie the cookies altogether.
These beauties will come out of the oven slightly golden brown on top and will maintain that wonderful fresh strawberry look.
They are equally amazing the next day as they are straight out the oven.
Enjoy these cookies with a fresh and light meal like Spinach and Feta Stuffed Chicken, or Chicken Caesar Salad Pitas.
