Cookies with Intense, REAL Strawberry Flavor

[@outside_the_cookie_jar]

I use freeze dried strawberries all the time for my strawberry recipes! I love the taste because I find it to be a more intense taste. Love the recipe ❤️

[@SugarSpunRun]

I'm so glad you enjoyed it! The freeze dried strawberries definitely do tend to have more flavor if you ask me. :)

Thank you. I will look for them.

[@ChuckysOveralls]

I ran out and got the strawberries as soon as this video was posted. Made the cookies last night. They are easy and delicious. I love how the flavor turned out. I experimented and topped one batch of the cookies with white chocolate chips as soon as i took them out of the oven. I didn't roll that batch in the sugar before i put them in. That was good, too. I skipped the food coloring bc I didn't feel like buying it, and my cookies were pretty pink. Like a baby pink/dusty rose. So they were still cute without the food coloring. This is a new favorite 😊

[@SugarSpunRun]

I’m so glad you enjoyed them so much! 😊😊

[@Mr.Nate132]

I made caramel apple cookies. I sort of followed the same technique with freeze dried apples. The only difference I did was add caramel bits like chocolate chips. The caramel bits are like the size of marbles. You can taste the chewy caramel on the inside. It's really tasty. It can work very well for autumn if you ask me. You ought to try that.

[@SugarSpunRun]

That sounds really good! I will definitely have to try it. :)

[@Caitlin1928]

I finally got around to making these! They are as good as I thought they would be. Naturally, the strawberry taste does fade a little after baking, but it's still quite strong. I did end up using all the strawberries in the 2.0 oz bag I bought as it came out to around the amount we need anyway. The great thing is, now that we have the recipe for this, people can use other freeze-dried fruit flavors as well.

These look amazing! I do want to try making these cookies but with 2 changes. I want a chewy cookie and I heard use melted butter instead of softened butter will provide that result. Also I want to add white baking morsels. Do you think the recipe will still turn out ok? Should I decrease the amount of sugar in the dough if I add the baking morsels so they aren’t cloyingly sweet?

[@SugarSpunRun]

The melted butter can contribute to a chewier cookie. These are a chewy cookie already. I didn't like the results when I tested melted butter. It could work, but the cookies will need to chill longer. You can add some white chocolate into the batter without alterations. :)

[@leticiazaragoza9044]

Just tried these cookies. So weird. Not bad wierd, just wierd. XD Like, I like strawberry flavor, but I've never had it in a cookie. Cakes, sure. Jams? Candies? Jello? Yep. Cookies? Nope. Warm? Nope. I took one bite of a warm cookie and put it down until it cooled the rest of the way. Better when room temp, but still a bit odd. Then I grabbed a bag of bittersweet chocolate chips (Ghiardelli brand) and took a bite of cookie with a chip. Pretty good, though I wish I had semi-sweet instead. I'm down to the last tray of cookies (yes they're being baked right now) so I shoved 3 chips in each cookie for 9 cookies... we'll see how they come out once baked and cooled! And if I like, make a chocolate drizzle out of more of the chips... or go buy a bag of semi-sweet to do so. We'll see! :D Also I did chill my dough, not because it was too sticky, but because I made the dough and then I had to go do something else for a couple hours and didn't think it'd be a good idea to leave my dough out. And I had to use a 2 teaspoon cookie scoop and scoop 2 balls per cookie because the 1 1/2 tablespoon scoop I have is apparently a dud and didn't like the still somewhat sticky/stiff dough and majorly skipped gears so the scraper arm didn't move properly. And even when adjusted, it kept doing it. Even if I dipped the scoop in water and/or flour before each scoop. *sigh* My small scoop however worked like a dream as usual. lol And I have so much strawberry sugar left over but I have no idea what I would do with it if I wanted to save it.. which is probably a bad idea since raw cookie dough was rolling around in it anyway. Heh

Yummy😋😋😋

[@chef-magoo]

well, the great KZbin algorithms must’ve figured out that I paid heavily for a couple packages of freeze dried strawberries. Recently, got them to amp up the flavor in a strawberry buckle I was doing. Strawberries, lose so much of their aromatics in cooking, they really do need a little help. where is a good source for affordable freeze dried strawberries, or do you just have to be willing to shell out good money for decent ones. The other question I have is about your choice of using baking soda? I was curious, is there enough acidity, well, there must be because the cookies obviously turned out great, from the strawberry pie with her to activate the baking soda. Did you first experiment with baking powder? If you didn’t, what would the result be of subbing baking powder for baking soda. What about including larger chunks of the freeze dried strawberries in the cookies. AnyWho, enjoy the Contant, keep up the great work! Look forward to more.

[@SugarSpunRun]

I buy the generic freeze dried strawberries from walmart. They are pretty inexpensive and have a great flavor. I did not care for the results with baking powder. I think leaving larger chunks of strawberry would be perfectly fine. Of course you can adjust that to taste. :)

[@ChefVicCuisine]

Wow! New sub here! I recently made Lemon Sugar Cookies on my page too and *your dish looks amazing!* Hope to stay connected! 😁

[@Lettuce-and-Tomatoes]

I’ve done several experiments and natural strawberry flavor can’t hold up being baked, just like natural watermelon flavor can’t hold up. They are such delicate, non-oil based flavors that heat destroys them (unlike citrus flavors from orange, lemon and lime zest). I think you might get better results using a light strawberry glaze applied to the cookies after they come out of the oven. In any case, it would be cool if you would avoid using freeze dried ingredients in your future videos unless you’re doing something revolutionary because most people (probably 90% of your viewers) can’t afford $3,000.00 for a Harvest Right freeze dryer. Great video! I watched until the end.

[@SugarSpunRun]

I'm so glad you enjoyed! An ounce of freeze dried strawberries is $3.72 at my local grocery store so no need for a freeze dryer. The strawberry flavor comes through quite nicely here and these have a great bright flavor that's distinctly strawberry, I hope you'll give them a try!

[@Lettuce-and-Tomatoes]

@@SugarSpunRun I trust you! I’m going to have to find freeze dried strawberries. I based my comment off of your son’s brown sugar comment and his opinion that the same red food coloring cookie tasted like strawberry. I’ll give this recipe an honest review ASAP.

If you want a strong strawberry flavored buttercream use freeze dried strawberries. There's a strawberry cake I make that uses a reduced amount of strawberry puree for the batter then the freeze dried strawberries for the frosting. I've used freeze dried berries in a SMBC, marshmallow buttercream and cream cheese frosting so far. I'm not joking when I say it taste like you're eating a strawberry milkshake. As for the cake and cream cheese frosting I mentioned above that's not my recipe. The credit goes to Sally's Baking Addiction.
