“Old-fashioned strawberry shortcake in cookie form! An easy, one-bowl recipe that’s full of strawberries! “
Watch me make these strawberry shortcake cookies from start to finish!
Have you ever had old fashioned strawberry shortcake? The kind that’s served on big, hot, from-scratch buttermilk biscuits, topped with fresh strawberry preserves and finished off with homemade whipped sweet cream?
It’s the kind my grandmother makes and I swear to beans these strawberry shortcake cookies tastes exactly like it omg! It seems like cheating that I can get my strawberry shortcake fix in these simple, one-bowl cookies but I’m not complaining!
Now these are very similar to my white chocolate raspberry cheesecake cookies minus a few changes like the baking temperature and omitting a few ingredients. However, the one-bowl method in this recipe creates a cookie that spreads a bit more and has a much fluffier, cakey texture.
I’ve had several strawberry shortcake cookies that have left a little to be desired. Either they were made with artificial-tasting strawberry jello or pudding or they were a dry mess. (Not that it kept my greedy behind from eating them though. ) But these strawberry shortcake cookies are having none of that foolishness!
They are so soft, fluffy and buttery tasting (thanks to that butter-cream cheese combo)! The fresh (but frozen) strawberries provides all the strawberry power they need. Don’t leave out the white chocolate chips/ vanilla chips! They add that bit of “sweet cream” flavor to balance out the tartness from the strawberries.
Isaac took one bite and said “mmm they taste like jelly biscuits!” Funny since he doesn’t even like jelly! These strawberry shortcake cookies are downright addictive yall. And yep I prefer frozen strawberries in this recipe.
For some reason the strawberries seem to keep their bright red color when they are mixed into the batter while still frozen. When I’ve made these with fresh berries the strawberries became sort of a pinkish-brown color.

I wonder how they’d taste with regular chocolate chips?
I finely diced fresh strawberries, layed them flat on a sheet pan and froze them.
How much butter do i put in converted to cups? it looks much more than 10 tablespoons
10 TBS = 1 stick plus 2 tablespoons
Hello I made your strawberry cookies and they were delicious. I also used some of your other recipes love them thanks
I love your recipes, I’ve tried several and they always come out as expected. These are in the oven as we speak and I can’t stop eating the batter!
I’m thinking these might be good made with blueberries…. these cookies look so pretty and they sound yummy !
thanks
I was pleasantly surprised! These did taste like a jelly biscuit???? Delicious cookies!
I really would like to know how you cut the frozen strawberries without them becoming wet and mushy. I saw the other reader’s concerns and would love to make these cookies but I too am concerned about the strawberries. Would appreciate a reply, thanks!
She used frozen berries. That helps with the mushiness
How did you cut your strawberry’s into small pieces? I tried to cut them using a knife, but they went all wet and mushy and completely messed up the consistency and color of my dough.
Maybe cut them and refreeze for a bit
Monique best cookies of my LIFE! I just made them to sneak into movies! I might shout in there they are so good!
