The key to these cookies is using freeze dried strawberries in the batter. Yes you can definitely add fresh strawberries to cake/cupcake, muffin and doughnut batters, but cookies not so much. They tend to turn cookies soggy and mushy, not a texture I’m looking for in my cookies. Freeze dried fruits are wonderful for baking when you want a lot of natural flavor but don’t want all the liquids that come from their fresh counterpart. I love the natural color they add too. You should hopefully be able to find freeze dried strawberries near the other dried fruits (i.e. raisins and Craisins) at your local grocery store. You can also find them at Trader Joe’s if not at your local grocer. Enjoy!
