Chocolate Covered Strawberry Cookies
A fruity cookie no messy chocolate coating needed!

One of my favorite dessert snacks FINALLY in cookie form. Like I said above you really don’t need any messy chocolate to coat any strawberries–they come baked right into the cookie. I never knew the power of baking fruit into cookies, but I’m never going back. Creamy white chocolate mixed with bitter dark chocolate and tangy strawberries make for an incredible cookie combo. You have to try this!

Start with you cookie prep. The standard creaming the butter and sugar together with the eggs and sifting in the dry mixture. Add the chocolate chips in and save the strawberries for last. Once you scoop the cookies then immediately top them with your diced strawberries. Refrigerate like all good cookie doughs and you’re ready to bake!

There is a lot of flavor in these strawberry cookies and also a lot of water, so be sure to let these cookies set up on the baking sheet before removing them to fully cook on a wire rack.

As the cookies cool they stay consistently soft and chewy. I recommend storing these cookies in the refrigerator because of the fresh strawberries still being rather moist to help them last the longest. These aren’t a cookie for a cookie jar, but they are the cookie for the fridge.

Serve these up on a romantic evening away or valentine’s day even. They can even pass for a fourth of July cookie with the red white and kind of blue theme. They have a taste like a chocolate covered strawberries with all the gorgeous chew and softness of a good chocolate chip cookie. What more do you need to make these today!

Soft, chewy, and everything in between.
