Ingredients

Scale

Fresh Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, finely chopped and patted dry
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Sugars and Fats

  • ½ cup unsalted, softened butter
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup brown sugar, packed

Chocolate Coating

  • 1 cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips for melting and dipping

Instructions

  1. Prep the Strawberries: Wash and pat dry fresh strawberries thoroughly, then finely chop them. Ensuring the strawberries are dry is crucial to prevent excess moisture in the dough which can cause soggy cookies.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: Sift together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. This helps achieve even ingredient distribution and a lighter cookie texture.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugars: Using a mixer, beat the softened butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until the mixture is fluffy and pale, which incorporates air for tender cookies.
  4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, making sure each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing gently and just until combined to avoid tough cookies.
  6. Fold in Strawberries: Gently fold the finely chopped strawberries into the dough, distributing them evenly while maintaining their shape as much as possible.
  7. Shape and Bake Cookies: Drop spoonfuls of cookie dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spaced adequately apart. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10 to 12 minutes until the cookies are set but still soft.
  8. Melt Chocolate for Dipping: While the cookies cool completely, melt the chocolate chips in a microwave or double boiler until smooth and silky.
  9. Dip Cookies: Dip each cooled cookie halfway or fully into the melted chocolate, then place on parchment paper to set. Refrigerate for a few minutes if needed to speed up hardening of the chocolate coating.

Notes

  • Use chilled dough by refrigerating for 30 minutes before baking to improve cookie texture and flavor melding.
  • Always pat strawberries dry thoroughly before chopping to avoid soggy dough.
  • Choose good quality chocolate for dipping to ensure smooth melting and richer taste.
  • Leave enough space between dough mounds on the baking sheet for cookies to spread evenly without merging.
  • Store cookies in airtight containers to maintain freshness and preserve the chocolate’s shine.
