These are the absolute best chocolate strawberry cheesecake cookies. Delicious strawberry white chocolate chip cookies made with fresh berries, white chocolate chips, dark chocolate chips, and cream cheese bits for the most fantastic texture and flavor.
Chocolate Strawberry Cheesecake Cookies
When I decided to develop a recipe for sourdough strawberry cheesecake cookies, I didn’t want to stuff them with cream cheese. Essentially, I wanted them to be white chocolate chip cookies with strawberry cheesecake flavor. Well, that’s exactly what I created here, and I LOVE them.
I incorporated frozen cream cheese bits into the cookie dough with the chocolate chips for the cheesecake flavor. You should freeze the cream cheese block and then cut crumbly frozen pieces off it to mix in. The frozen cream cheese works well because it doesn’t fully blend into the dough.
One more note about the strawberry cheesecake flavor. I call for fresh strawberries in this recipe; it is important to add them at the right time.
Sourdough Cookies with Fresh Strawberries
You need fresh strawberries to make these cookies. You can use frozen strawberries, but if you do, you must first ensure you defrost them to room temperature.
The best way to incorporate strawberries into the cookie dough is to puree them, then combine them with the sourdough starter before blending in with the butter and sugar.
The strawberries contribute moisture to the cookie dough, so you should not adjust the amount of strawberries listed in the recipe. For extra strawberry flavor, you can fold in freeze-dried strawberries.
Strawberry white chocolate chip cookies
These cookies taste like the perfect combination of a white chocolate chip cookie and cheesecake. They’re delicious and perfect for spring.
Here are all the ingredients you need to make them:
- 340 g all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 230 g butter
- 300 g brown sugar
- 200 g pureed fresh strawberries
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 120 g sourdough starter (active or discard, hydrated)
- 3/4 cup cream cheese, frozen and crumbled
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/3 cup dark chocolate chips
Making Strawberry Cheesecake Cookies with Sourdough Starter
Making cookies with a sourdough starter is all about how you mix the ingredients. The order you mix your ingredients is the most important part.
You must mix the sourdough starter with the wet ingredients and sugar before you add any dry ingredients. Also, I want to mention that you can use an active starter or discard. If you want to use discard, it should be at room temperature for the best results. Just follow the directions on the recipe card below, and you won’t have any problems.
As for storing the cookie dough, you can ferment the cookie dough in the fridge overnight before forming the cookie dough balls and baking.
When I make a batch of these cookies, I ferment them overnight in the fridge, then shape the dough into balls the next day. This recipe at 1x makes about 20 cookies, so usually bake six, then freeze the rest.
To bake the frozen cookie dough, just put the ball on a parchment paper-lined sheet pan, then bake as usual.
