After these Mango White Chocolate Chip Cookies turned out so good, I decided to make these with freeze-dried strawberries as well.  I have been loving cookies with fruit this season but adding fruit to cookies impacts the texture. Using freeze-dried fruit adds a delicious flavor to cookies without impacting the texture.

These cookies are festive for the patriotic summer holidays, and all of your strawberry-loving friends will love them!  I happen to be partial to white chocolate chips in cookies, but you can add regular chocolate chips as well.

I purchased freeze-dried strawberries at Walmart. I also see them at Aldi for a reasonable price.

How do you get your White Chocolate Macadamia nut to be chewy?

In my opinion, the most important thing to get right when making white chocolate macadamia nut cookies is that the cookies turn out chewy.   The most important step to follow to make the cookie chewy is to chill the dough.  You should chill the cookie dough for at least an hour.  But if you don’t have the time, at least chill the dough for 30 minutes at the very least.  

These Cookies call for mostly baking ingredients you already have in your pantry.  All you need is:

Butter

Pure Vanilla Extract

Brown Suger

White Sugar

1 egg

1 egg yolk

All-purpose Flour

Baking Soda

Salt

1.2-ounce bag of freeze-dried strawberries

• You will want to make sure that you CRUSH the freeze-dried strawberries into smaller pieces.  Try crushing them while they are still in the bag.
• I also think that these cookies would taste great with freeze-dried apples as well.
