Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (100g) packed light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 3/4 cups (210g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (approx. 25g) freeze-dried strawberries, roughly chopped
- 4 oz (113g) good quality chocolate (semi-sweet, milk, or dark), for drizzling
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Roughly chop freeze-dried strawberries.
- In a large bowl, whisk melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Stir in vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in chopped freeze-dried strawberries.
- Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes, until edges are lightly golden and centers are slightly soft. Cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cookies are cool, melt chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler until smooth.
- Dip half of each cookie in melted chocolate or drizzle chocolate over tops. Place on parchment paper and chill in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes to set the chocolate.
