Strawberry Shortcake Cookies
Strawberry Shortcake Cookies are the strawberry shortcakes of your dreams. No need to get out all the biscuits and strawberries and whipped cream, because we're going to put it all in one delicious cookie.
The base cookie dough is a classic vanilla cookie dough that I use in most of my recipes! With butter, brown sugar, sugar, and vanilla, this cookie base is already off to a good start!
Then I mix in crushed graham crackers adn white chocolate chips to build that strawberry shortcake flavor as well as texture!
I top the cookie dough with a few strawberries before I bake them in the oven. You end up with a cookie loaded with sweetness from the strawberries, creaminess from the white chocolate chips and a little crunchy from the graham crackers!
It's a total win in a single cookie!

Fresh Strawberries
There's two different types of strawberries you could use for this recipe: fresh strawberries or freeze-dried strawberries.
If you are going to use fresh strawberries, they will be a little bit sweeter, but they do add extra moisture in the recipe. I used fresh strawberries for this recipe because I like the flavor a little bit better. In order to control the moisture of the strawberries, I like to cut them up, then lay them on a paper towel for about 15 minutes. This helps draw the excess moisture from the strawberries. Then I take another paper towel and blot out the extra moisture from the top before I add them to the cookie dough.
Using fresh strawberries does require a few extra steps, so if you don't feel like you want to deal with all that, you can use freeze-dried strawberries.

Freeze-Dried Strawberries
Freeze-dried strawberries are a great alternative for adding strawberry flavor without dealing with extra moisture. If you've never had one, it's basically the chip form of a strawberry, a process where they lower the temperature of the strawberry then pull out the extra moisture by collecting the water vapors through a high pressure vacuum.
The ending result is a crispy, flavorful fruit chip essentially. I love the flavor that it adds to baked goods but they can sometimes end up being a little tart, so keep that in mind when you're baking with them!
