These Strawberry Cookies are a delicious and a must try! The strawberry flavor paired with white chocolate chips is an excellent combination. They are great for Valentine’s Day, strawberry season or whenever you feel like it!

For this recipe I use freeze dried strawberries instead of fresh strawberries. That way there is no added moisture in the recipe and you get a stronger strawberry flavor. You should be able to find these in any grocery store or online.

To finely grind the freeze dried strawberries, I use a small food processor. It is best to do this as you are making the cookies. After you grind them up, they tend to absorb a bit of moisture and clump together. If you do end up processing them in advance, be sure to break up any clumps before adding them to your batter. That way you can be sure that they will be evenly distributed in the dough.

Once the cookies are baked, they have a natural soft pink color from the freeze dried strawberries. If you want the cookies to have a brighter color, you could add some natural red food coloring to them. It would make them a bit more festive for holidays and have a better contrast with the white chocolate chips.
