Baking Pro Tips
Use fresh, firm strawberries to prevent excess moisture in the dough.
Pat the strawberries dry after dicing to help keep the cookie texture perfect.
Chill the dough for 15 minutes before baking if it seems too soft.
Do not overmix the batter once you add the strawberries, as they can break down and make the dough too wet.
For extra flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon or a few drops of almond extract.
These Strawberry White Chocolate Chip Cookies are a delightful way to celebrate love and sweetness, whether for Valentine’s Day or any occasion. Their soft, chewy texture and blend of fresh strawberries and white chocolate make them irresistible. Enjoy them with a cup of tea or package them up for a heartfelt homemade gift!
