Ingredients

Units Scale
  • For the cookies:

    • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
    • 1 tsp baking powder
    • 1/2 tsp baking soda
    • 1/4 tsp salt
    • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
    • 1 cup granulated sugar
    • 1 large egg
    • 1 tsp vanilla extract
    • 1/2 cup finely chopped fresh strawberries
    • Red or pink food coloring (optional)
  • For the filling:

    • 12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips or chocolate chunks
  • For rolling:

    • 1/2 cup granulated sugar

Instructions

  1. Prepare the cookie dough:

    • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
    • In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
    • Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
    • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
    • Gently fold in the finely chopped strawberries. If desired, add a few drops of red or pink food coloring to give the dough a soft pink hue.
  2. Shape and stuff the cookies:

    • Scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough and flatten it in your hand.
    • Place a few chocolate chips or a small piece of chocolate in the center of the dough.
    • Fold the dough over the chocolate and roll it into a ball, ensuring the chocolate is fully sealed inside.
    • Roll the dough ball in granulated sugar to coat.
  3. Bake the cookies:

    • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
    • Place the cookie dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
    • Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set.
    • Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • You can substitute dark chocolate or milk chocolate for the filling, depending on your preference.
  • For an extra burst of strawberry flavor, try adding a tablespoon of strawberry jam to the dough, but be mindful that the dough might become a bit stickier.
  • These cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
