Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 grams unsalted butter
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 50 grams brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 190 grams all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 20 grams freeze-dried strawberries
- 150 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 5 whole fresh strawberries (for decoration, optional)
- 50 grams melted dark chocolate (for drizzling, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and mix until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
In a food processor or blender, pulse the freeze-dried strawberries into a fine powder. Mix the strawberry powder into the cookie dough.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips with a spatula.
Scoop 1.5-tablespoon (about 30 grams) portions of dough and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers look slightly underbaked. Allow the cookies to cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
For optional decoration: Once the cookies have cooled, drizzle them with melted dark chocolate and top with a thin slice of fresh strawberry, if desired. Let the chocolate set before serving.
