Strawberries and Cream Cookies feature soft cookies with pops of strawberry and white chocolate flavor throughout. These are the perfect Valentine’s Day or summer treat!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is there such thing as too many types of cookies to bake?!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I don’t think so!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I love to try different flavors of cookies constantly. Instead of sticking to Chocolate Chip Cookies<\/a> every time (even though they’re probably my all time favorite still).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some fun flavors I love are Red Velvet Chocolate Chip Cookies<\/a>, Funfetti Cookies<\/a>, Peppermint Mocha Oatmeal Cookies<\/a>, Mexican Hot Cocoa Cookies<\/a>, no bake Cookies<\/a>, etc. The list goes on and on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My new favorite cookie recipe is these gluten-free Strawberries and Cream Cookies!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They’re made with freeze dried strawberries, for a strong strawberry flavor, and pops of white chocolate chips throughout. Based on my Chocolate Chip Cookie<\/a> recipe, so the edges are crispy and the center is doughy and soft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you don’t want to make heart cut-out cookies, these are a fun and easy Valentine’s Day treat too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s talk about the ingredients.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

First, the most important thing about these cookies is the freeze dried strawberries. <\/strong>You cannot use fresh strawberries<\/strong> in their place. Fresh strawberries won’t be as flavorful and will make the cookies too wet and soft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alternatively, freeze dried strawberries are ONLY made of strawberries that have been freeze dried.<\/strong> The flavor is stronger and they add no extra moisture to the cookie dough. Just what we need! You can find freeze dried strawberries at Target<\/a>, Trader Joe’s and on Amazon<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I recommend chopping your dried strawberries prior to using them, for a more even distribution of strawberry flavor (instead of random large strawberry chunks).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you can’t find freeze dried strawberries,<\/strong> but still want to make a strawberry cookie, I’d recommend using strawberry jam in my Thumbprint Cookie recipe<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another special ingredient I like to use to make my cookies extra soft is cornstarch. <\/strong>If you don’t have any, you can omit it (I wouldn’t recommend substituting anything in it’s place). It just makes the cookies a touch more tender, which we really love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To make these Strawberries and Cream Cookies gluten-free,<\/strong> be sure to use an all purpose gluten-free flour<\/a>. You could also make these cookies with a regular all purpose flour instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ways to personalize these cookies…<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Of course, to keep with the Strawberries and Cream<\/em> you would use white chocolate chips in this cookie recipe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, these cookies would also be delicious with milk, semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips <\/strong>in their place (think more of a chocolate-dipped strawberry type of cookie!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To take these to the next level, you can drizzle chocolate on top or dip half of each cookie in even more chocolate.<\/strong> Add some festive sprinkles on top if you’d like, too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These Strawberries and Cream Cookies have a great strawberry flavor.<\/strong> Adding any chocolate (and hey, maybe even some nuts) makes them even better. After all, what goes better with strawberry than chocolate?! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hope you guys give these cookies a try and fall in love, like my family has! My kids love strawberry so this is the perfect treat for them this Valentine’s Day. I’ll be doing a little white chocolate drizzle and heart sprinkles! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you make these, let me know what you think. Leave a comment below, and a star rating, and find me on Instagram<\/a> and tag me! I seriously love to see what you guys make.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And if you need more Valentine’s Day recipe inspiration,<\/strong> I’d recommend my gluten-free Chocolate Oat Pancakes<\/a>, Strawberry Donuts<\/a>, and Dark Chocolate Nut Bark<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n
