Chocolate Covered Strawberry Cookies

You don’t need Valentine’s Day to enjoy the timeless treat of chocolate-covered strawberries, because now they exist in cookie form. These chocolate covered strawberry cookies start with a rich, fudgy chocolate cookie base that’s bulked up with chocolate chips and freeze-dried strawberry bits to provide refreshing pops of flavor. Make a batch for yourself, or someone you love, for a dessert reminiscent of the classic Valentine’s sweet. ❤️

Ingredients You Will Need For Chocolate Covered Strawberry Cookies:

• Freeze-Dried Strawberries – You will need 1 cup of roughly chopped freeze-dried strawberries to add to the dough. I always find mine at Trader Joe’s, but a lot of grocery stores sell them these days.
• All-Purpose Flour – You will need 3/4 cup of all-purpose flour.
• Cocoa Powder – You will need 3/4 cup of cocoa powder, I like to sift it so there aren’t any big clumps left!
• Baking Soda – You will need 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda to make the cookies light and fluffy.
• Salt – You will need 1/4 teaspoon of salt to balance out the sweetness in these cookies.
• Unsalted Butter – You will need 1 stick of butter, softened to room temperature. 
• Brown Sugar – You will need 3/4 cup of brown sugar. I like to use dark brown sugar for this recipe, but light brown sugar works perfectly fine as well.
• Egg – You will need 1 large egg for this recipe, preferably room temperature to ensure it incorporates well with the other ingredients.
• Vanilla – You will need 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. 
• Chocolate Chips – You will need 2/3 of a cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips, plus a little extra for drizzling after if you choose. You can substitute for milk or dark chocolate chips if you prefer!

A Few Tips For Chocolate Covered Strawberry Cookies:

• Make sure to use freeze-dried strawberries for these cookies! Fresh strawberries will not work the same. 
• You can break apart the strawberries with your hands straight into the bowl if you find it easier. That’s what I like to do instead of chopping them since they break apart pretty easily.
