Description

These Heavenly Strawberry-Choco Bliss Cookies are the perfect blend of sweet and tangy flavors. The rich, melty chocolate chips complement the chewy dried strawberries, creating a delightful cookie with a soft center and crispy edges. Whether you’re making them for a special occasion or simply craving a homemade treat, these cookies will quickly become a household favorite.


Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup dried strawberries, chopped
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven
    • Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  • Cream the Butter and Sugars
    • In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until the mixture becomes light and fluffy.
  • Add Eggs and Vanilla
    • Mix in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract for enhanced flavor.
  • Combine Dry Ingredients
    • In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  • Fold in the Star Ingredients
    • Gently fold in the chopped dried strawberries and semi-sweet chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  • Scoop and Shape
    • Using a cookie scoop or a spoon, drop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  • Bake to Perfection
    • Place the cookies in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown while the centers remain soft.
  • Cool and Enjoy
    • Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For chewier cookies, slightly underbake them and let them finish setting on the baking sheet.
  • If you prefer crisper edges, bake for an additional 1-2 minutes.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze them for longer storage.
  • Swap semi-sweet chocolate chips for white chocolate for a sweeter variation.
