Chocolate Covered Strawberry Cookies combine the rich flavor of chocolate with the sweet, fruity burst of strawberries in a soft, chewy cookie. Drizzled or dipped in chocolate, they’re perfect for Valentine’s Day, anniversaries, or anytime you want to show someone a little love.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon strawberry extract or 1/4 cup strawberry pudding mix
  • 1/2 cup freeze-dried strawberries, crushed
  • 3/4 cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
  • Optional: white chocolate for drizzling
  • Optional: pink or red sanding sugar or sprinkles for decorating

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  2. In a large bowl, cream butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add egg, vanilla extract, and strawberry extract or pudding mix. Mix until combined.
  4. Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until a soft dough forms.
  5. Fold in crushed freeze-dried strawberries and chocolate chips.
  6. Scoop dough onto a lined baking sheet. Chill in the refrigerator for 20–30 minutes.
  7. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake cookies for 10–12 minutes, until edges are set and centers are slightly soft.
  8. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  9. Once cool, drizzle with melted white or dark chocolate or dip half of each cookie for a chocolate-covered strawberry effect.
  10. Decorate with sanding sugar or sprinkles if desired. Let chocolate set before serving.

Notes

  • For extra texture, roll dough balls in sugar or sprinkles before baking.
  • Add chopped fresh strawberries only if eating cookies the same day.
  • Turn them into sandwich cookies with a dollop of cream cheese frosting.
  • Store at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
  • Microwave baked cookies for 10–15 seconds to make them gooey again.
