Instructions
Make the Chocolate Cookies:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate large bowl, beat butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add egg and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
- Gradually mix in the dry ingredients, stirring until combined. Fold in mini chocolate chips if using.
- Scoop 1 ½ tablespoon-sized dough balls onto the baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until edges are set. Let cool completely.
Add the Strawberries:
- Once cookies are cool, place one strawberry on top of each cookie, pressing lightly.
Dip in Chocolate:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chopped chocolate and coconut oil in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Dip each strawberry-topped cookie halfway into the melted chocolate.
- Place back on parchment paper and refrigerate for 15 minutes to set.
Decorate & Serve:
- Drizzle with melted white chocolate for an elegant touch.
- Serve immediately or store in the fridge for up to 2 days.
Notes
- Use freeze-dried strawberry powder in the cookie dough for extra strawberry flavor!
- Swap semi-sweet chocolate for white or dark chocolate for variety.
- Best enjoyed fresh since strawberries release moisture over time.
