Strawberry Chocolate Cookies

Strawberry Chocolate Cookies loaded with fresh strawberries and chocolate chips are game changers. They are wonderfully chewy and stay soft.

I’ve always had a love affair with strawberries. I’m the happiest person on this planet when the strawberry season arrives every year. I go back to my childhood when I used to eat LOTS of strawberries right from my parents’ backyard. They are still the most scentful strawberries I’ve ever eaten. That’s why these strawberry chocolate cookies have the same big effect on me. I remember my childhood memories in each bite.

Strawberries are yummy. Chocolate is a weakness for everyone. Chewy chocolate chip cookies are addictive. I mean it’s no surprise that these Strawberry Chocolate Cookies are sinfully good as they combine all those great things. This recipe is all in one and you can’t stop eating these once you start. They taste even better when you spread some mascarpone cheese while eating. Just sayin’

It’s not the first time I’m combining strawberry and chocolate. As I think they make the best and most passionate couple ever, I’ve made recipes using these two before such as Chocolate Strawberry Tartlets or Strawberry Chocolate Cake. These are loved so much by my family and friends, so I’m %100 sure that these cookies will become their favorite cookies (besides Molten Chocolate Citrus Cookies).

Although it’s a well-known fact that chocolate and strawberries match wonderfully, I couldn’t find a strawberry chocolate cookies recipe on the web. To my surprise, nobody has tried to make such a recipe. Could that be because fresh strawberries easily get juicy when baked? They might cause the cookies to become soggy. Read the note below to learn how to avoid soggy cookies when you use fresh strawberries in a cookie dough.

Well, I came accross with a Chocolate Strawberry Brownie Cookies recipe, but it is vegan and gluten-free, not something I was looking for. On the other hand, the other recipes I’ve seen either call for strawberry cake mix or use strawberries but not in a chocolate cookie form. I wasn’t after these either. I wanted to make regular chocolate cookies packed with chocolate chips and fresh strawberries. Sort of triple joy.

Tips on Strawberry Chocolate Cookies Recipe

• To avoid sogginess in your cookies, you need to pat dry the strawberries with a paper towel after they are chopped. This is a vital step in this recipe. Otherwise you might end up with a result you never desire.
• Store these cookies in the refrigerator after the first day because they might go off due to the fresh strawberries inside.
• Don’t store these cookies in an air tight container, cover them using a plastic wrap with a small opening so that they don’t get too soft.
