Tips for the Best Strawberries and Cream Cookies
- Don’t overmix the dough once you add the flour, just fold until combined.
- For a chewier texture, underbake the cookies slightly and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
- Freeze-dried strawberries burn easily, so don’t press extras on top before baking. Add them right after baking while the cookies are warm. This is totally optional but makes the cookies look so pretty!
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Can I use fresh or frozen strawberries instead of freeze-dried? I don’t recommend this as fresh or frozen strawberries release too much moisture and make the cookies soggy.
Can I freeze the dough? Yes! Scoop the dough, freeze on a tray until solid, then transfer to an airtight container. Bake from frozen, adding 1–2 minutes to the bake time.
How To Store Strawberries and Cream Cookies
- Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- To freeze the dough, scoop out the dough balls and freeze them on a baking tray until solid. Once frozen, transfer them to a ziplock bag or airtight container. When you’re ready to bake, no need to thaw — just bake the frozen dough for a few extra minutes.
