    Hi Simply Bakers, welcome back!

    I hope you guys enjoy this delicious cookie recipe- it’s soft and chewy and definitely on the sweet side.  Let me know in the comments what kind of fruit cookie you want to see next!

    Tips and Procedures:

    • Coating the sliced strawberries with flour before adding it to the dough will prevent the sliced strawberries from sinking at the bottom of each cookie
    • Why do we need to squeeze lemon juice on the strawberry slices? This prevents the strawberries from discoloration because of the lemon’s acidity
    • If you don’t have flat baking sheets or baking pans, you can also use muffin tins in baking. Just make sure you spray it well with baking spray or oil your muffin pans generously
    • Place your cookie dough evenly on your baking sheets. This will also give them enough space from each cookie as they bake

    How to Make Easy Strawberry Shortcake Cookies:

    Listed below are all the ingredients you will need:

    • fresh strawberries
    • lemon juice
    • cream cheese
    • unsalted butter
    • vanilla extract
    • granulated sugar
    • egg
    • all purpose flour
    • baking powder
    • salt
    • white chocolate chips

    Preheat oven to 350F and line cookie sheets with parchment paper or a baking mat.

    Squeeze lemon juice over the chopped strawberries and set aside:

    Look how pretty they are! The strawberry slices are visible in each cookie – the step where we coated the strawberry slices with flour helped a lot.

    You can even make these cookies prettier by adding a drizzle of chocolate ganache on top or just sprinkle it with sanding sugar and your strawberry shortcake cookies are off to the next level!

      hi i just made these cookies. they came out ok. I just wish the chocolate chips melted a little more. i kept them in for 17 minutes to see if that would give them a more golden look.
      Overall its a simple recipe to follow.

      Great flavor, but cookies were not as golden as the recipe indicates.

        Awww sorry about that, Steve. Try moving the baking sheet to the top rack. That usually helps with browning. Sorry for the late response.
