These Strawberry Cookies are made from scratch and are super chewy, buttery, and have big flavor from using freeze dried strawberries and white chocolate chips! This recipe makes 18 cookies and can be made in less than an hour!

Why You’ll love these cookies

  • At first bite they taste like those strawberry shortcake ice cream bars. You know the ones that have the outer coating of strawberry and vanilla crunchies, then a layer of vanilla ice cream, then at the middle that sweet strawberry ice cream?AH summer childhood memories!
  • These are bursting with strawberry flavor just like my strawberry cream cheese frosting and strawberry buttercream. You can sandwich the cookies between either of those two for cookie sandwiches!
  • These are a no mixer cookie recipe!

Ingredients needed:

  • Butter -You’ll need softened butter. Learn how to soften butter quickly.
  • Sugar– white sugar is what you need to add sweetness
  • Eggs– Build up the texture of the cookie.
  • Flour– For the bulk of the cookie
  • Baking Powder– a leavening agent
  • Baking Soda– another leavening agent
  • Kosher Salt– use kosher salt not table salt
  • Vanilla Extract– for extra flavor
  • Freeze dried strawberries! These are my secret weapon when I am baking anything strawberry flavored.
  • White Chocolate- You can use white chocolate chips here but I also love using chopped white chocolate for that rustic look.
Ingredients for strawberry cookies

How to make this recipe

  • Start by measuring out 3/4 cup of freeze dried strawberries. Pulverize them in a small blender or food processor until powder like. It’s ok if there are larger chunks. Measure out the sugar for the recipe and add the strawberries into it.
  • Combine softened butter with the sugar and strawberry mixture using a wooden spoon or sturdy spatula.
  • When the mixture is combined to a paste, add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla and mix again.
  • Combine the dry ingredients either in a bowl or on a large piece of parchment paper and add it to the batter. Mix again until a firm dough forms.
  • Add the white chocolate saving a handful for topping the cookies.
  • Scoop out the dough using a 3 tbsp cookie scoop or kitchen spoon and place the dough 2″ apart on parchment paper lined cookie sheets. Top each ball with an extra couple chips. Chill for 20 minutes in the freezer, then bake on 350° for 17 mins.

Storing and Freezing

Storing- Keep these in an airtight container and they will stay chewy, moist, and delicious for up to 5 days! These cookies also freeze really well. Make sure to put them in a freezer safe bag.

Freezing- Freezing cookie dough is my favorite. Follow this recipe up until the scooping part, then freeze the dough balls for one hour. Move them to a zip top freezer safe bag and bake as needed. You do not have to defrost them, you can bake them straight from the freezer!

Extra cookie tips

  • I used a large cookie scoop for this recipe but you can use a smaller one. Check the cookies after 15 minutes. Use an ice cream scoop if you don’t have a cookie scoop although I encourage you to get one!
  • If you are in a rush you technically don’t *have* to chill this recipe. I tested some chilled and some not, and although I liked the way the chilled ones baked up a little more (they spread less) the un chilled ones tasted just as good!
  • If you don’t want to dirty another bowl when baking, a great trick is to rip a big piece of parchment paper and measuring everything out on there. Then just fold the paper and pour everything into your mixing bowl. This especially helps when you are using a stand mixer.

Just like my strawberry brownies, these cookies are really great for Valentines Day! If you want to up your Valentines Day dessert game even more, check out Jennifer’s Strawberry Macarons!

Recipe FAQ

Where can I find freeze dried strawberries? I buy them at Target or Trader Joes, they are very easy to find. Don’t mistake them for dried strawberries, they are not the same! You want the freeze dried ones.

Why did my cookies spread? The cookies will spread more if you skip the freezer chilling time, so if you dont want flat cookies, then dont skip it!

Can I substitute the freeze dried strawberries? I dont recommend it and havent tested this recipe otherwise.

Variations

  • Try making these with semi sweet chocolate chips
  • Add nuts to make them a little crunchy
  • Try freeze dried raspberries instead of strawberry

You don’t have to chill these cookies if you are in a rush, but know that they will spread a little bit more.
Use a 3 tbsp cookie scoop to measure out the cookies evenly.

    These might be my new favorite cookie. I made these (along with the brownies) for some Valentine’s Day treats since the strawberries add a fun pink/red color and they were devoured! I already sent the recipe to 2 friends who loved them after trying as well. Thanks for such an awesome recipe, and the white chocolate chunks v. chips really make a difference for that melt factor!

Finding your style 📸 It’s probably the numbe Finding your style 📸

It’s probably the number one struggle I hear from food photographers. 

❌ Shoot after shoot, it doesn’t feel like your photos are consistent or that there is even a recognizable style there.

❌ You don’t feel as if anybody would see your photos and be like “hey! I know who’s that is!”

❌ You might even feel like your photos are pretty enough but that you learned or experimented with how to shoot in someone else’s style so you don’t really feel like it’s yours.

I GET IT 🙌🏻

✅I didnt know how to use my camera 5 years ago
✅I had no recognizable style
✅Once I thought I had a style, I stuck myself in a box and felt like I could never shoot differently

But after countless hours, investing time and money every day I now have the freedom to know that whatever I shoot will inevitably come out in my own style. 🎉 I shoot in ALLL the colors of the rainbow and it always comes out like me 🙋🏻‍♀️

And this is why in my signature program, The STYLE Mastermind, with it’s combination of coaching + education, I teach you how to find your own unique style, and not how to shoot in mine.

There is *literally* no point in shooting in a style that you don’t love because the whole point of running your own creative business is to do it because you love it.

And when you love your job and it shows through your work, that’s when the clients come in. 💰 💰 💰

Over the last 3 years my program has helped over 90 (!!) students find their unique consistent style, land their highest paid contracts ever, and LEAVE THEIR JOBS! No it doesnt happen overnight, but it does happen.

SO yeah you may be scared outta your mind to take that leap and join but trust me, it may just be the best thing you do for your mindset, creativity, your business, and your style.

PS. THE STYLE MASTERMIND IS NOW OPEN FOR ENROLLMENT! 🎉💵👩🏽‍🤝‍👩🏻 We are only accepting 24 students for this round with 2 spots already taken. Tap the link in my bio to apply and level up your business!!

3 things I wish someone told me in the beginning o 3 things I wish someone told me in the beginning of my food photography career 📸:

1. Do not be afraid to use shadows! You NEED shadows in your work. They are what create dimension in a photo and what gives it the “pop of the screen” effect. Just because you like to shoot light and bright doesn’t give you an excuse not to use them either. Using shadows doesn’t = dark and moody. So please, if you feel like something is missing in your photos, maybe you need more shadows?

2. Mindset is EVERYTHING. You will have really good days and then really 💩 days too. Knowing how to navigate the ups and downs of entrepreneurship is the everlasting key to your success in the food photography world. 

3. Learn about licensing and usage!!! Like get in with the nitty gritty of it. I cant tell you how much I have given away for less than what I deserve because I didn’t know enough about licensing and usage. 

All three of these things are V important to me in terms of how I run my own business and what I teach to my students.

It’s some of the main reasons why and how students have been so successful. Like 10k+ months, and leaving their 💩 jobs they hate, kind of successful.

Theres a couple more hours left to get on the waitlist for my signature program The STYLE Mastermind for an early bird incentive.

One thing I constantly tell my students is to get One thing I constantly tell my students is to get the hell out of their comfort zones- because nothing extraordinary ever comes from it.

Think about it- the things that have gotten you to where you are today, will not get you to where you want to go next. If they did, then you would already be there.

Constantly pushing yourself to the next level of your comfort will though.

Running a workshop in Tuscany and teaching in person was that for me, and it was one of the most magical weeks ever.

So grateful for all the people that traveled across the world to stay with people they never met for 5 days.

If that’s not pushing yourself, I don’t know what is!

If you’re thinking that you need help getting to the next level, then get on the waitlist for the next round of my signature program, The STYLE Mastermind. 

It’s designed to help you find your unique signature style (YES YOU HAVE ONE) and to get paid well in this industry.

✨Artichokes ✨ They were allll over Rome- at t ✨Artichokes ✨

They were allll over Rome- at the markets and next to the restaurants- all bundled up and beautiful that I couldn’t resist taking some shots.

For these I wanted to go with a light chiaroscuro effect- using the contrast between light and dark to highlight parts of an image.

I took these artichoke shots in two different areas and also edited them differently. The first to bring out more of the contrast between green and purple and the second focusing more on the green.

I cant decide which I like best- I added the raw images here too so you can see how powerful editing it, especially when you already have the finished image idea in your head!

Which do you like better?

In July 2019 while on vacation in Tuscany, I messa In July 2019 while on vacation in Tuscany, I messaged @healthylittlecravings with the idea of running a food photography workshop in Italy. I was hoping she didn’t think I was crazy 🤪, or maybe she was just as crazy as me- because she said YES. Almost 3 years later, after lots of frustration, zoom calls, planning, un-planning, and planning again, it’s finally happening!

I’m proud of us for not giving up, and grateful for the students that have invested their time and money in learning with us- whether they are coming this time or not. 

I won’t be posting anything on my feed bc it’s not where i want to be spending time this week, but I’ll be sharing on stories! And yes we plan on doing this again ❤️

Cupcakes. My least favorite thing to shoot- so nat Cupcakes. My least favorite thing to shoot- so naturally I have a BUNCH of cupcake recipes that I need to shoot over the next week or so. I find that when I find a food that I dont love shooting, I force myself to do it over and over until I am more comfortable with it. 

It happened once before with cookies, and now cookies and I are BFFAE.

So get ready Mr. Cupcake- meet your new best friend 🙋🏻‍♀️
