CHEWY CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES WITH STRAWBERRIES
Isn’t it funny that chocolate dipped strawberries represent romance. Have you ever tried eating one in front of someone? They are quite possibly the most unromantic food out there. Think about it. You take a bite and the chocolate breaks into dozens of pieces.
At this point, you’re left with two choices: do I let the chocolate fall or do I try to catch the falling pieces with my mouth. Neither option is ideal. Despite being one of the most awkward treats you can attempt to eat in front of someone, the perfection of chocolate and strawberries together cannot be denied. That is why I especially love these cookies.
How to make chocolate chip cookies with strawberries:
For this recipe, I used my no-fail faithless chocolate chip cookie recipe. I found it years ago and have never strayed since.
I know from past experience that strawberries are actually a very wet fruit and can drastically change baked goods, so I knew putting fresh strawberries in the mix was out.
Freeze dried strawberries were the answer. Not only did they add the full flavor you’d expect from deliciously red ripe strawberries, but it added a wonderful moist chewy factor to the cookie.
The cookies were already dynamite to begin with, but the strawberries made them over-the-top good.
So, if you were considering making a batch of chocolate covered strawberries to impress a loved one this Valentine’s Day, I urge you to consider all things and make these cookies instead!

A little bit of neutral tasting oil added to the chocolate solves the breaking problem.
The recipe looks great but I think you meant to write faithful recipe rather than faithless. And what are softened Coupons?
What a great combination! Who doesn’t love chocolate & strawberry together, especially in a cookie!
