These Strawberry Chocolate Chip Cookies are filled with pools of creamy white chocolate, rich dark chocolate, and chewy tart freeze-dried strawberries.
These strawberry chocolate chip cookies are top-notch. If you like chocolate covered strawberries imagine them in cookie form….yeah they are that good. Perfectly chewy with slightly crisp edges, pockets of sweet chocolate, and chewy freeze-dried strawberries. What’s not to love?!
I used my No Chill Soft Chocolate Chip Cookies as a starting point. Used some white chocolate with dark chocolate and freeze-dried strawberries. I found real strawberries to be a little too wet for my liking so freeze-dried to the rescue. They have all of the flavor but no added moisture!

What Is In Strawberry Chocolate Chip Cookies?
DARK AND WHITE CHOCOLATE CHIPS: Ghiradelli and Guittard are some of my favorite brands. I used bar white chocolate in this recipe to get bigger pools of chocolate.
FREEZE-DRIED STRAWBERRIES: Found in a lot of grocery stores now and also found at Target, Trader Joe’s, and Amazon.
BUTTER, BROWN SUGAR, SUGAR, EGGS, VANILLA, FLOUR, BAKING SODA, AND SALT.
How-To
THE COOKIE BATTER: Cream the butter and sugars then add the eggs and vanilla. Add the dry ingredients and mix just until combined. Stir in the chocolate chips then stir in the strawberries.
FORM INTO COOKIE BALLS: I like to use a heaping 1.5 tablespoons for these cookies.
BAKE: Bake the cookies at 350 degrees F for 10-12 minutes or just until the edges start to brown. The middles will still look very soft but they will finish baking after they are removed from the oven.
FAQs
Most local grocery stores now carry freeze-dried strawberries but you can also find them at Target, Aldi, Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, and Amazon.
YES! You can shape them into cookie balls and place them on a baking sheet and freeze them for 2 hours then place them in a freezer-safe container and freeze them for up to 3 months. No need to thaw but may need a few extra minutes of baking. Baked cookies freeze well too. Cool completely then freeze in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months.
Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
I did not have success using fresh strawberries and this is because of how wet they are.
A Few Other Tips
- It’s important to add the strawberries last so they aren’t pulverized to nothingness.
- Chilling the dough isn’t necessary but it does allow the strawberry flavor to intensify. Allow the dough to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before scooping.
- It’s important to let the cookies rest on the baking sheet to finish baking. Otherwise, they will fall apart if you try to transfer them to finish cooling.
