⭐️ Tips, Tricks, and alterations:
If you do not have white chocolate chunks that is okay. You can make strawberry white chocolate chip cookies instead by using white chocolate chips rather than chunks.
I have not tried making these cookies with fresh strawberries. If you did use fresh berries, it would make for a much wetter batter.
Baking with fresh strawberries can be difficult when it comes to cookies. It can be done, don’t get me wrong, but, I prefer to use freeze-dried strawberries. By using freeze dried strawberries, you don’t have to rely on strawberry season. You can make these whenever you want. If you do try it with the fresh berry, let me know in the comments how it goes.
I do not use an electric mixer or hand mixer for this recipe. I like to use a rubber spatula and a large mixing bowl. This way I can ensure that the dough does not get over mixed.
If you do not have white chocolate you can sub in dark chocolate chips or milk chocolate chips.
For best results, always follow the recipe card.
❤️ Why you’ll love these cookies
They are so quick and easy to whip up. They have great strawberry flavor and basically taste like a cheesecake in cookie format. What else would you need from a cookie?
📃 Ingredients for these Strawberry White Chocolate Cookies
Gluten Free All Purpose Flour: I use King Arthur gluten free Measure for Measure flour (it has xanthan gum in it). However this is a 1:1 recipe so regular flour works just fine.
Light Brown Sugar: Brown sugar helps add to the richness of the cookie, almost a caramel flavor
White Sugar: The balance of sugars in the cookie makes it perfectly sweet. It is also used to dip the cookies into.
Unsalted Butter: The richness of any cookie dough. Using unsalted means you can control the amount of salt flavor going into your cookies.
Egg: One large egg is in the binding agent in the cookie dough
Vanilla: Vanilla extract helps enhance the flavor of the cookie
Baking Soda: This helps with the structure of the cookie
White Chocolate Chips or White Chocolate Chunks: this is our chocolatey goodness!
Freeze Dried Strawberries: Where all of the strawberry flavor comes from in this recipe
Milk: I like to add a little bit of milk to the dough to make sure that it isn’t dry and give it extra moisture.
📖 How to make these strawberry white chocolate cookies?
Mix together your dry ingredients: in a large bowl add the flour, and baking soda and set aside.
Brown the butter: Browned butter enhancing the flavor of any cookie dough and it is super simple to make. If you want the butter to melt faster, use room temperature butter but honestly, cold butter is fine. Place the butter into a pan (or small saucepan) and put it on medium heat. The butter will begin to break down and you will see little brown bits form on the bottom, Swirl it around and remove it from the heat. Pour the butter into the small bowl (or) medium sized bowl.
Add the sugars: and whisk. After the sugars and butter have been creamed together, add the egg and whisk together. Add the vanilla and whisk until it has all come together.
Fold the wet ingredients: into the dry ingredients ⅓ at a time. At the ⅔ point, add the chocolate and strawberries to the bowl and make sure everything is incorporated. One of the key things to this batter is to make sure to not overwork it. Once you have folded it a few times, add the chocolate chunks and strawberries. Do make sure though to scrap down the sides of the bowl to make sure you get everything in the mixing bowl incorporated. Add the milk and fold everything together once more.
Roll the dough: into balls and place onto a baking sheet that is lined with parchment paper or a baking mat. The dough may feel greasy, but that is entirely normal. You can use a cookie scoop for this or an ice cream scoop but I just do it by hand.
Set the oven to 350°: The bake time on the cookies is 12 minutes but I like to bake them for 6 minutes, then turn the cookie sheets. Then bake for another 6 minutes. The cookies will be golden brown when done.
Remove the trays from the oven: and let them sit for a few minutes on the sheets. If you want crispy edges but a gooey center, then you can eat them right away, otherwise, let them sit for a little bit. You can leave them on the cookie sheet or place them on a wire rack or cooling wrack to cool completely.
Note: if you make really big cookies, they made need an extra minute or two to bake. You want the texture of the cookies to be chewy but you want your cookies to be baked! You do not wanted unbaked cookie dough balls (well, maybe you do, I bet those could be good too!)
After you have made this recipe, try making my linzer cookies.
