Strawberry White Chocolate Cookies
We are really big on cookies in our family. Creamy Chocolate chip cookies, Mrs. Fields Cookies, Ranger cookies, and if we are in a blazing hurry for treats 3 Ingredient Peanut Butter cookies are always a hit.
I was hunting up something different for my cookie recipe box and ran into these beauties. White chocolate and strawberry are one of my favorite combinations. This cookie recipe combines both of those yummy flavors. And adds cream cheese for a tender moist crumb! cookie heaven!
Strawberry White Chocolate Cookies
Fresh strawberries in cookies? Why not? We grow strawberries in our garden. Nothing like homegrown fresh organic strawberries to add gorgeous flavor to these cookies.
Now fresh strawberries are found in the grocery store year round. That makes these cookies eligible for any holiday, even Thanksgiving and Christmas!

These cookies are now a family approved dessert we all love. I have made this recipe several times and they turn out great every time. Just follow the easy directions below.
This last batch I doubled and split up the 90 cookies it made. Some we froze, some went to mom and dad’s cookie jar. A big bunch of them went to work with my hubby and instantly vanished with smiles from his work crew.
If you want a soft cookie with summer flavors try these with in season organic fresh berries. Looking for Christmas cookies? These look so pretty on a holiday dessert table and your guests will gobble them up.
Strawberry White Chocolate Cookies travel well. Great lunchbox, potluck or office treat.
White Chocolate Strawberry Cookies are so pretty. Put them on a party tray for a bright standout that will please your guests.
Recipe Notes and Tips for White Chocolate Strawberry Cookies:
To make these cookies you need fresh strawberries. Frozen strawberries will be too mushy and runny and sweet.
This recipe doubles easily. Which is great for big events!
TIP: Special strawberry instructions!
- Hand chop the strawberries for best results.
- Be SURE to soak the strawberries in lemon juice or they will go dark when baked. BUT don’t soak them more than five minutes or they will begin to break down and get mushy.
- Coat the strawberries with flour to ensure even baking of your cookies.
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350 F
- Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium sized bowl and whisk together.
- Chop up fresh strawberries and let them soak for 5 minutes in lemon juice.
Fresh chopped Strawberries soaked in lemon juice produces bright red baked strawberries.
- After a few minutes (no more than 5 minutes,) drain the strawberries and set them aside.
- Meanwhile, Blend together cream cheese, butter, and sugar until smooth.
- Add in eggs and vanilla and blend thoroughly.
- Slowly add the flour mixture in three batches and mix together. Repeat until it is completely blended in.
- In a separate bowl, Coat the strawberries lightly in flour.
- Slowly fold the coated berries into the batter (do not mix with a blender)
- Finally, add the white chocolate chips and gently fold them in.
- Use parchment paper(or my favorite silpat mats on your cookie sheets.
- Drop by teaspoonful or use a cookie dough scoop to drop the dough on your baking sheets into 1 inch balls.

- If you would like, you can sprinkle the top of the cookies with sugar for a little extra sparkle before baking.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until lightly brown. I set my timer for 10 minutes and then watch them to get them to just the right doneness.
- Remove from oven. Wait a minute and then Transfer the baked cookies to a cooling rack.
- Cool on a cooling rack for 10 minutes before serving.
Enjoy!

Hi Dianne, Great Question. I Have never made these with gluten free flour. However we are about to publish a thumbprint cookie using almond flour (probably next week). I'd try almond flour in these cookies. Please let us know how they turn out for you!

How long do these cookies keep for? I want to make them ahead of time. Can I freeze some?

They will keep 2-3 days, I would keep them covered to avoid getting stale. They freeze really well!

Can I skip cream cheese here or substitute it with something else? What does the cream cheese add to this cookie?

You can skip the cream cheese, the texture might be a bit different. However the cookies should turn out with a similar flavor profile. Or you can substitute it with strained plain greek yogurt. Hope that helps!

WOW! I just realized that this is a re-run recipe from long, long ago. But something wonderful should be able to withstand the test of time - right!?!

I CANNOT WAIT to try making these! Could we use a bit of powdered freeze dried strawberries (while keeping the original strawberries as in the recipe) for a bit extra color?
Also, could the original recipe be used to make a cookie cake??
Thank you so much!

Hi Priya! Yes you could definitely add in some freeze dried strawberries! I definitely think these cookies could be made into a cookie cake, they are very light and fluffy in texture. Please let me know how they turn out if you make them! Kayti
