Strawberry Chocolate Chip Cookies
Servings: approximately 32 2 ½-inch cookies
Prep Time: 15 minutes | Bake Time: 10 minutes
Ingredients
- 3 – 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- ½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1 ½ cups chopped strawberries
- 1 tablespoon white sugar
- 1 cup, or two sticks, unsalted butter, room temperature
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Sprinkle the white sugar evenly over the chopped strawberries in a small bowl. Set aside.
Add three cups of flour, baking soda, and baking powder to a small mixing bowl and whisk to combine. Set aside.
Add the butter, eggs, brown sugar, and vanilla to a large mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer until very well combined.
Add the dry ingredients and mix well until the dough comes together. If the dough seems too sticky, add the additional ½ cup of flour and mix until fully incorporated.
Add the strawberries and chocolate chips and mix gently until well combined.
Scoop out balls of dough that are slightly larger than tablespoon-size, and place them evenly spaced on a baking sheet. You can fit 12 cookies on a standard-size baking sheet. Do not flatten the balls of dough.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until the bottoms of the cookies are a light golden brown color.
Allow the cookies to rest on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
FAQ
1. Can I use frozen strawberries instead of fresh ones?
Yes, you can use frozen strawberries, but make sure to thaw and drain them well to avoid excess moisture in the dough.
2. How should I store these cookies to keep them fresh?
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or refrigerate them for up to a week to extend their freshness.
3. Can I substitute the chocolate chips with white chocolate or another type of chocolate?
Absolutely! Feel free to use white chocolate chips, dark chocolate chips, or even a mix to suit your taste preferences.
4. Can I use other types of fruit?
Yes! Any berry should work. You can use blueberries, blackberries, or raspberries!
5. Can I make the dough ahead of time and bake later?
Yes, you can prepare the dough in advance and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours before baking. Just let it come to room temperature for about 15 minutes before scooping and baking.
