Strawberry Cookies

Soft & chewy Strawberry Cookies are filled with jello, pudding, and white chocolate chips, making them irresistible!

These Strawberry Cookies are made using jello and instant pudding mix, similar to our Oreo Pudding Cookies, creating a perfectly chewy cookie! Try Strawberry Shortcake Poke Cake or Strawberry Cream Cheese Bars for more strawberry goodness!

Made with Jell-O Mix!

I LOVE finding new and yummy cookie recipes to try out! We are big fans of cookies in this house.

I recently found a recipe for Cherry White Chocolate Pudding Cookies and decided to change it up just a bit and made a Strawberry Cookies version.

Let me tell ya – pure heaven! The Jell-O and pudding mix in the recipe are the perfect additions and makes the cookies so addicting and chewy! 

The white chocolate chips add flavor that isn’t too overpowering – a perfect compliment.

Because of the sweet pink coloring, these Strawberry Cookies would be perfect for Valentine’s day or maybe a baby shower! And they are SO delicious.

How to Make Strawberry Cookies

PREP. Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray or line it with a silicon mat or parchment paper.

WET INGREDIENTS. In a large bowl, cream butter, sugar, and jello powder together. Add eggs and vanilla and mix well.

DRY INGREDIENTS. In a separate bowl, mix together flour, pudding mix, baking soda, and salt. Slowly add to the butter mixture. Mix well. Fold in white chocolate chips.

BAKE. Spoon onto a greased baking sheet. Bake for 9-11 minutes.

Variations

Strawberry Jello Cookies are perfect the way they are, but here are a few suggestions to change them up!

Pudding. Use vanilla or instant cream cheese pudding instead of white chocolate instant pudding. The only difference would be the flavor of the cookies. Be sure it is INSTANT pudding and use only the dry powder in the cookies. Do not make it into pudding.

Jello. Change the flavor by substituting the strawberry Jello powder with another flavor such as raspberry or cherry. Do not make the jello, just use the jello powder. I used the JELL-O brand and not a generic version.

Frosting. I would suggest our Strawberry Frosting. Some other options include Berry Buttercream, Cream Cheese, Vanilla, or even Marshmallow frosting. Top the frosting with sliced fresh strawberries to add more strawberry flavor.

Recipe Tips

Room temperature ingredients. Room-temperature eggs and butter will incorporate better with the other ingredients. 

Set them on the counter about 30 minutes before starting the recipe. Or use this: Soften Butter Quickly.

Cooling. Allow the cookies to rest on the baking pan for 5-7 minutes after cooking. This will allow them to finish cooking, then transfer them to a cooling rack to cool completely. 

Picture perfect cookies. Place a few white chips on the top of the cookies when they’re just out of the oven. Use a cookie scoop to ensure that every cookie is the same size.

Storing Info

STORE. Cool Strawberry White Chocolate Chip Cookies and store them in an airtight container (adding a piece of bread will help keep them soft). Cookies will last for about a week.

Cookie dough can be covered and stored in the refrigerator for 1-2 days before baking.

FREEZE the dough. Roll it into a log and freeze altogether, or roll it into individual balls to freeze and easily bake later. 

• Log: once you have the dough rolled into a log shape, wrap it with plastic wrap and again with foil. Label and freeze for 1-2 months. 
• Dough balls: form the cookie dough into balls, place them all on a baking sheet, and put the sheet into the freezer. Once the dough balls are frozen, transfer them to a freezer-safe airtight container. Freeze for 1-2 months.
