Strawberry Chocolate Chip Cookies

Strawberry Chocolate Chip Cookies are the best dessert. My chewy classic chocolate chip cookie recipe combined with freeze dried strawberries combines two of the best flavor combinations!

Why this recipe works:

Fewer things go better together than strawberries and chocolate. If you love things like chocolate covered strawberries and fresh strawberry pie with a chocolate covered crust, you'll love these cookies!

The perfection of chocolate and strawberries together cannot be denied. That is why I especially love these cookies. It is among my most favorite cookie recipes.

This recipe is simple - combine the best chewy chocolate chip with freeze dried strawberries. The texture of the cookie remains unchanged but the burst of strawberry flavor is infused in every bite!

Ingredients:

• all-purpose flour
• baking soda
• salt
• butter
• brown sugar
• pure vanilla extract
• egg
• chocolate chips
• freeze dried strawberries

How to make these cookies:

1. First step is to mix together your dry ingredients.
2. Then, I use my stand mixer with the paddle attachment to cream the butter, brown sugar, and vanilla together until light and fluffy. Next the egg gets mixed in, then the dry ingredients. Finally, the chocolate chips and freeze dried strawberries get stirred in.
3. The thick batter is then placed on a baking sheet and baked in a preheated oven for only 8-10 minutes. That's it!

Cooking tips:

• I know from past experience that strawberries are actually a very wet fruit and can drastically change baked goods, so I do not recommend using fresh strawberries in this recipe.
• You can, however, replace the strawberries with any freeze dried fruit you prefer. I have used blueberries, raspberries, and even mango.
• Freeze dried fruit is different than dried fruit. Freeze dried is extremely dry and can be crushed into a powder. It also retains a lot of the original flavor of the fruit. Dried fruit is sticky and chewy. I do not recommend using dried fruit in this recipe.
• For best results, take cookies out of the oven as soon as they no longer look wet in the middle and allow them to sit on the hot baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack. This will give you extra chewy cookies.
