Oh boy, do I have a GOOD ONE for you today. I am so excited to share this recipe because all of my recipe testers went crazy over these cookies. They were a huge hit!
These indulgent cookies combine the soft texture of sugar cookies with creamy, tangy cream cheese frosting and the fresh, sweet flavor of strawberries. It is a match made in heaven!
Years ago, I saw that Crumbl Cookies released their Strawberries ‘n Cream Cookie with fresh strawberries and I have craved it ever since.
These cookies are perfect to serve at a bridal shower, a baby shower, a gathering with friends and family, or when you are craving a sweet treat.

How to make Strawberries ‘n Cream Cookies:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar for 4 minutes or until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs and vanilla and mix for 1 minute longer.
- Stir in flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt and mix just until combined.ย Drop 3-ounce or 4-ounce dough onto a parchment paper lined, light colored baking sheet.
- Bake for 10-13 minutes for 4-ounce cookies and 9-11 minutes for 3-ounce cookies. The edges should be set and lightly golden. The centers should look slightly underbaked but will firm up as they cool.
- Make the cream cheese frosting. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter until smooth and creamy, about 3-4 minutes. Gradually add the powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the vanilla extract and beat until the frosting is light and fluffy, about 1-2 minutes.
- Use a small offset spatula or a butter knife to spread a generous layer of cream cheese frosting on each cooled cookie. Smooth the frosting evenly over the cookie.
- Cut the strawberries into small pieces or into slices, depending on preference. Arrange the sliced strawberries on top of the frosted cookies or sprinkle the fresh strawberries over the frosting.
- Chill covered in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
FAQ’s:
Since these cookies are frosted with cream cheese frosting, I like to keep them chilled in the refrigerator in a covered container. These cookies also freeze very well. I suggest placing them on a cookie sheet and freezing for 1 hour to set the frosting before putting in gallon-sized Ziploc bag.
Fresh strawberries are the ideal ingredient to use but if you need a substitute, you can use ground up freeze-dried strawberries and sprinkle on top of the frosting.
