These rich and fudgy, chocolate-packed cookies that resemble the taste of a brownie with the sweetness from fresh strawberries, will be your next go-to cookie for any occasion.
These ooey-gooey double chocolate chip cookies are packed with fresh strawberries and are a perfect snack for any spring afternoon. Honestly, every day is the right kind of day to dive into these chocolate cookies!
Strawberries are just about in season, and all of my local grocery stores have quite a selection of fresh juicy red strawberries. Along with my fondness for chocolate, I could eat strawberries just about every day. So creating these cookies just made sense to me!
Why choose between chocolate or strawberries when you could have both! That's what I like to think anyway.
Tips Before Starting:
- The dough needs to chill in the fridge for 30 minutes before baking.
- After pureeing the strawberries, use a paper towel to soak out some of the excess water. This helps to keep the dough firm once the strawberries are incorporated.
- Halfway through baking, use a spoon (any dinner spoon will work) to flatten down the tops of the cookies.
- Because these cookies are made with fresh strawberries, any leftovers will need to be refrigerated.
Ingredients:
- Softened butter
- Sugar
- Brown sugar
- Egg
- Vanilla extract
- Flour
- Cocoa powder (I used Hershey's)
- Baking soda
- Salt
- Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Strawberries
How To Make Double Chocolate Chip Strawberry Cookies:
These cookies are quite easy to make! In just about an hour, you'll have freshly baked double chocolate chip strawberry cookies filling up your home with a mouthwatering chocolate smell.
First, puree the strawberries for three, one-second intervals (we don't want a soupy consistency, just super small pieces). Lay them out on a paper towel and pat dry. Or you can finely chop the strawberries into tiny bits with a knife.
Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder (sifted), baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Cream together softened butter, sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract in an electric stand mixer. Add egg.
Now, reduce mixer speed to low and add in the flour mixture, scraping down the bowl when needed. Next, add the chocolate chips and pureed strawberries just until they are incorporated with the dough. Cover the dough and chill in the fridge for the next 30 minutes.
During the waiting time of the dough chilling, I like to start cleaning up my mess. This definitely makes me feel better knowing that when the cookies are done, the major mess is already clean and now I can just enjoy the finished product.
After the 30 minutes are up, scoop tablespoon-sized dough onto a cookie sheet that is lined with parchment paper, or in my case, a non-stick silicone sheet.
Bake at 350 degrees for 9-11 minutes. The most important part of the baking process is to remember to use a spoon halfway through baking to flatten the dough. If you don't, the dough will not spread out into the shape of a cookie and if you wait to flatten the dough at the end of the baking time, they will be under baked. So, please please please remember this step!
If it's easier for you, set your timer for 4 ½ minutes and flatten the cookie dough at the end of that time. Then set your timer for an additional 4 ½ to 6 minutes to finish baking completely.
Once the cookies have baked, leave on the cookie sheet for 10 minutes then transfer over to a cooling rack.
That is it! You are all set to bake these yummy double chocolate chip strawberry cookies. Please let me know how they turned out by leaving a comment below or on Facebook or Instagram.
