Description
If you love chocolate-covered strawberries, you’ll go crazy for these cookies. They’ve got the perfect balance of sweet, buttery dough, rich chocolate chunks, and fresh strawberries for a soft, chewy texture with bursts of fruit in every bite.
Ingredients
For the Cookies:
- ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ cup fresh strawberries, diced
- ¾ cup chocolate chunks (semi-sweet or dark)
Instructions
Wash and pat dry the strawberries, then dice them into small pieces. Sprinkle with a tiny bit of flour to prevent them from making the dough too wet.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
Gently fold in the chocolate chunks and diced strawberries, being careful not to overmix.
Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (this helps prevent spreading). Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Drop spoonfuls of dough onto a lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Serve warm for the ultimate gooey, chocolatey experience!
