Ingredients
For these dreamy cookies, you’ll need:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup chocolate chips (semisweet or dark)
- 1 cup chopped fresh strawberries
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (for coating strawberries)
How to Make Chocolate Covered Strawberry Cookies
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Whisk together 1 cup flour, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Cream together butter and sugars in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract. Gradually blend in the cocoa powder and flour mixture until smooth.

- Fold in chocolate chips and floured strawberries gently into the batter.
- Drop dough by tablespoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the cookies are just set. Let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Helpful Tips
- Don’t overmix the dough; just blend until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking if the dough is too sticky or soft.
- Keep an eye on the oven! These cookies can go from perfect to overdone quickly.

- Gluten-Free: Swap all-purpose flour for your favorite gluten-free blend.
- Add a Nutty Crunch: Mix in 1/2 cup of chopped pecans or walnuts for an added texture.
