Ingredients
Scale
- 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 semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (for strawberries)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- In a larger bowl, cream the butter with both sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla.
- Gradually mix in cocoa powder and the flour mixture until well combined.
- Toss strawberries in 1 tablespoon flour and fold them into the batter along with chocolate chips.
- Drop tablespoonfuls of dough onto prepared sheets, spacing them apart.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, until cookies are set but still soft. Cool on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack.
Notes
- For a vegan version, substitute butter with coconut oil and the egg with a flax egg.
- To avoid strawberries from creating too much moisture in the dough, make sure they are patted dry after chopping.
