If you’re a chocolate strawberry lover, you have got to try these strawberry chocolate chip cookies! They’re packed with strawberry flavor thanks to freeze-dried strawberry powder, and then loaded up with chocolate chips. Plus, they’re made in one bowl!
Once I’d made my raspberry chocolate chip cookies, I knew I needed to make a strawberry version! These strawberry chocolate chip cookies are just like your favorite classic cookie, but loaded up with strawberry flavor.
What I love about these strawberry cookies is that they can easily be made dairy-free, so they’re perfect if you have food allergies!
Why You’ll Love These Strawberry Chocolate Chip Cookies
- These strawberry chocolate chip cookies are made with freeze-dried strawberries, so you can make them all year long!
- These cookies are made in one bowl, and you don’t have to chill the cookie dough!
- You only need 11 simple ingredients to make these cookies!
- Strawberries and chocolate are the perfect flavor combo!
Ingredients Needed
- Butter: You can use regular butter or dairy-free butter.
- Freeze-Dried Strawberries: You can use freeze-dried strawberry powder or grind up freeze-dried strawberries in a blender.
- Chocolate: Use milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or semisweet chocolate! I recommend using semisweet chocolate. You can also use chocolate chips or a chopped chocolate bar.
Step by Step Instructions
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°Fahrenheit and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or in a large bowl with a handheld mixer, beat the butter and sugars until light and fluffy.
Step 3: Mix in the freeze-dried strawberry powder. Add the egg and vanilla extract.
Step 4: Add the flour, salt, and baking soda. Mix until a dough forms, then stir in the chocolate chips and chopped up freeze-dried strawberries.
Step 5: Using a medium cookie scoop or a spoon, make 1.5 tablespoon sized balls and plac them on the prepared baking sheets, keeping them 3-4 inches apart. Add more chocolate chips on top if desired.
Step 6: Bake the cookies one sheet at a time for 6-9 minutes. The edges will look set but the middles shouldn’t be golden brown.
Step 7: Remove from the oven and let them sit on the baking sheet for 5 minutes,. Transfer to a wire cooling rack to cool completely!
Bakery Style Cookies
Want to get those picture perfect bakery style cookies? Here are my tips! Make sure not to overmix the cookie dough, which will make your cookies tough. Then, take them out of the oven when the edges have set, but the middles aren’t golden brown yet. That way, you get a perfectly soft and chewy cookie!
Just before baking, you can add extra chocolate chips on top of the cookie dough balls so you get those chocolate puddles. I don’t recommend adding extra freeze-dried strawberry pieces on top until after they’ve come out of the oven.
Expert Tips
- I always recommend using a kitchen scale to weigh out your flour! It’s super easy to add too much flour if you’re using measuring cups, which will make your cookies dry and dense.
- Don’t have a kitchen scale? Then make sure to use the scoop and level method to weigh out your flour!
- I tested putting on a whole freeze-dried strawberry on top of the cookie dough balls just before baking, but they burnt a bit when baking! I recommend gently pressing a freeze-dried strawberry right when they come out of the oven.
- If you’re grinding up freeze-dried strawberries, make sure to remeasure the powder before adding it to the cookie dough!
Storage Instructions
You can store the strawberry cookies at room temperature in an airtight container for 5-6 days.
To freeze, place in a freezer bag and freeze for up to 2 months. Let thaw at room temperature before enjoying.

- ¾ tsp baking soda
- 2 cup + 1 Tbsp (257 g) all-purpose flour
- ½ cup semisweet chocolate chips, plus more for topping, (regular or dairy free)
