These strawberry chocolate cookies are a chewy cookie filled with freeze dried strawberries and lots of chocolate. They taste like a chocolate covered strawberry in cookie form.
1oz(30g)freeze dried strawberriesbroken into small pieces
1cup(180g)chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
flaked sea salt for sprinkling on top
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 F. Line 2 baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Place the butter and sugars in a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Beat on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes.
Add egg and vanilla and mix until smooth on low speed.
Slowly mix in baking soda, salt and flour, being careful not to over mix. I usually stop when I still have some flour remnants around the bowl. Fold in strawberry bits and chocolate.
Scoop the dough into large cookie balls using a ¼ cup scoop and place 6 per cookie sheet. Sprinkle with flaked sea salt.
Bake cookies for 11-13 minutes or until a light golden brown around the edges. Sprinkle with extra salt flakes after baking if needed.
Notes
If your cookies don't come out in a perfect circle, I like to take a spatula and circle the rim of the cookie to bring in any spots that have spread a little too far.We love these with milk chocolate bar chopped up, but they'd be great with dark, semi sweet or white chocolate.I have given both cups and grams as measurements. Grams will be more precise, especially when measuring flour. If you don’t have a kitchen scale, no problem! Just lightly spoon flour into your measuring cup to insure its not packed in there. Light and fluffy is the key.
