Strawberry Chocolate Chip Cookies
This Strawberry Chocolate Chip Cookies recipe offers the perfect marriage of textures. They’re delicious and chewy with a soft center and crispy caramelized edges. Better still, they’ll be in and out of the oven in less than 30 minutes.
Servings: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 ½ cups light brown sugar packed
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
- 2 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips divided
- 2 bags freeze dried strawberries 0.7 ounce each
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat butter and sugars for about 2 minutes, until fluffy (scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed).
- Add in eggs and vanilla and beat until combined.
- Add flour, salt and baking soda. Beat JUST until combined. Fold in 2 cups chocolate chips.
- Squeeze bags of freeze dried strawberries to LIGHTLY break them up into smaller pieces (but not necessarily crumbs). Just a couple squeezes is all you need. The strawberries will break up as you fold them into the cookie batter.
- Using a large 2 or 3 Tablespoon cookie scoop, drop cookie dough onto prepared cookie sheets. Make sure there are no LARGE pieces of strawberry sticking out (they tend to brown quickly). Press some of the reserved chocolate chips into the tops of the cookies before baking.
- Depending on the size of your cookie scoop, bake for 11-13 minutes, until outside of cookie is lightly browned. Remove from oven and cool for a couple minutes on cookie sheet, then remove and cool completely on a wire cooling rack.
Notes
- Freeze dried strawberries- Check the size of your package. We order them on Amazon and they come in 0.7 ounce bags. Target also sells them in 1 ounce bags (you can use 1 1/2 or add all of it in)!
- Store- keep your cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- Freeze- you can freeze the cookie dough (use our tips and tricks on how to freeze cookie dough) or freeze your baked and cooled cookies in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Thaw on counter overnight (in container).
