These strawberry cookies are packed with real strawberry flavor thanks to freeze-dried berries! There is no chill time needed for this easy summer treat.

Ingredients

  • ½ cup unsalted butter , slightly softened
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ⅓ cup brown sugar , packed
  • 2 ounces cream cheese , softened
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup freeze dried strawberries , chopped
  • ½ lemon , zest and juice (about 1 tsp)
  • 1 Tablespoon strawberry jam , optional

Optional: strawberry glaze (see notes)

Instructions

  • Prep. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, using a mixer, cream together 1/2 cup butter and 2 ounces cream cheese. Add 1/3 cup brown sugar and 1/2 cup granulated then mix until smooth (about 1 minute).
  • Add 1 egg and mix until combined. Scrape down the sides and add 1 teaspoon vanilla, 1 tsp lemon zest and juice and strawberry jam (if desired for a boost in flavor). Beat just until combined.
  • Add dry ingredients including 2 cups flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda and 1/2 teaspoon salt and mix on low. I like to slowly mix in the strawberries. Be careful not to over mix.
  • Use a medium cookie scoop or Tablespoon to scoop the dough onto the pan. Bake 8-10 minutes or until the bottoms are golden and the middle is set. Allow to cool on the pan for a few minutes and then transfer to a cooling rack.
  • Once cooled, combine the glaze then drizzle on top if desired.
