Strawberries and Cream Cookies Recipe

I’m going to start this post off with a confession- I don’t like strawberries.

Or let me rephrase that- I don’t like eating plain strawberries. The texture gets to me.

You should probably know (and may have figured out already) that I, Madison, am typing this post- not my mom. My mom loves strawberries. So does my brother, and my dad. I don’t know about my sister- it changes every day. No matter who eats strawberries in our family and who doesn’t, we all love the flavor strawberries give. Anything we make with the flavor of strawberry is fought over.

These Strawberries and Cream Cookies are no exception.

If there’s one thing I can tell you about the strawberry cookie itself, it would be: “It’s pretty good. It needs something else though.” Because we always strive to give you the best we can do.

If there’s one thing I can tell you about the strawberry icing it would be: “This tastes really sweet, like a strawberry milkshake.”

Both of these got pretty good reviews on their own,  but put them together and guess what? You have a 5-star cookie! Chewy, soft, and delicious. There’s really no other way we can describe these Strawberries and Cream Cookies.

Absolute yumminess:)

There’s something about these cookies that keep you wanting more, and more, and more. I had one whenever I could get my hands on them. Have you ever been there?

Cookies have voices. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Can’t you hear them calling your name?

These cookies are super fun because they are made with a boxed cake mix and strawberry jello.  That strawberry jello just gives a huge blast of strawberry flavor.  The cream cheese in the cookies keeps them soft and chewy. I hope you enjoy eating them as much as I did!

  1. The color is so fun! My family is a huge fan of strawberries, so this is a recipe I need to try! 🙂

    • Julie-
      Yes! I do think you could put this in a greased 8×8 pan and bake it at 350 degrees for about 14 minutes. That is just a guess as to the time and temperature based on other recipes I’ve tried that are similar. Watch them so they don’t get too done. I hope it works for you!

  9. Hi Guys. Please think of us across the pond in good old England !Some of the ingrediants we don’t get or understand .I can’t wait to make these . But what is “Jello” . we only get wobbly blocks of jelly to melt with hot water .or packets of granuals to dissolve in hot water. What should i use ,and how much? White cake mix? Victoria sponge mix?
    grams . Size of packet?
    Please your recipes we need …we have endless rain!

    • Ma Martin- Jello is a packet of flavored granules that you add to hot water. We use one small box of Jello, which the packet says is about 85 grams. White cake mix is just a basic boxed white cake mix. The cake mix box says 468 grams. I hope that was of some help to you!

  11. Okay I added the stuff but in no way is it turning into dough why is there no liquid listed? Cream cheese and butter and 1 egg is suppose to wet the cake mix and jello?

    Reply

    • Yes, the cream cheese, butter and 1 egg wets the dough just enough. Make sure the butter and cream cheese are very soft, which will make this easier to mix together. The dough will be very thick, so you can roll it into balls. I hope that helps!

  17. I just made these for a fourth of July party and they were fantastic!!!!!! Tasted like a strawberry milkshake, my only changes were to add a little bit of vanilla extract to the frosting, using a box cake mix that already had the jello in it, ad adding blue sprinkles to the frosting. WILL make again! Thanks!

  18. I made the strawberries and cream cookies today and they are really good. The only ingredient I added was 1 tsp of lemon extract to each batch which just brings out the flavor of the jello. If I make this recipe again I won’t add as much extract and won’t add any to the plain batch.

    I didn’t make or add any frosting as I felt it would get messy when shipping. Also, when making the dough, I doubled the batch and used 2 separate bowls. One of the batches I did use the strawberry jello and the other batch I used just white sugar in place of the jello. I then put both batches in the fridge overnight.

    when making the cookies I now had a batch of white dough and a batch of the red strawberry dough. I took a small amount of each kind and rolled into a ball. Rolled the ball in sugar and pushed down flat with a small glass on a cookie sheet. The result was so gorgeous, and I have never said that about a cookie before. half the cookie is the dark pink color and the other half regular dough colored.

    So fun to look at, and the flavor of this recipe is really yummy.
