Strawberry Cookies<\/strong> that get their flavor from real strawberries<\/em> (not strawberry cake mix) \u2013 these are soft and chewy strawberry cookies and you can make them all year long, not just during strawberry season!<\/p>\n

When I set out to develop a Strawberry Cookies recipe<\/strong>, I didn\u2019t realize how many times I\u2019d have to try to get these absolutely perfect. Adding fruit to cookies can radically change the texture (hello, looking at you, pumpkin cookies<\/a>) and so it takes a little bit of tweaking to get it perfect. I wanted them to be from scratch, not using a cake mix or strawberry jello, and I wanted them to be like drop sugar cookies with chewy texture on the edges and a soft center.<\/em><\/p>\n

I tried making these with fresh strawberries<\/a>, but the fresh berries just added too much water and made the cookies too much like a biscuit, so after some testing I settled on using freeze dried strawberries<\/strong>. They\u2019re real fruit \u2013 just dehydrated. Using freeze dried fruit means you can make this strawberry cookie recipe all year \u2013 no waiting for strawberry season! These turned out to be the perfect light pink cookies with tons of flavor \u2013 you\u2019re going to love them!<\/em><\/p>\n

How to make Strawberry Cookies<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. First you need to turn the dehydrated berries into freeze-dried strawberry powder<\/strong>. You can do this using a food processor<\/a> (don\u2019t buy expensive freeze-dried strawberries; you can find them at most stores now in the snack aisle, even Walmart has a store brand). Process until they\u2019re a fine powder, and then mix it in after adding the wet ingredients.<\/li>\n
  2. Use softened unsalted butter \u2013 no substitutes. These are essentially strawberry sugar cookies and good cookies need real butter.<\/li>\n
  3. If you can find it, you can add a bit of strawberry extract<\/a> for more of a strong strawberry flavor.<\/li>\n
  4. These are drop cookies that do not need to be chilled; once you drop the strawberry cookie dough balls onto your cookie sheets lined with parchment paper, just bake until light golden and no longer glossy on top. I always use a cookie scoop<\/a> \u2013 these were made with a 2-tablespoon size scoop.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
