Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Add-ins
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup fresh strawberries diced
Instructions
Preparation
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, cream the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips and diced strawberries gently.
- Cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to prevent excessive spreading during baking.
Baking
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Using a cookie scoop, portion out the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing the cookies about 2 inches apart. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serving
- Serve the cookies warm or at room temperature. They pair wonderfully with a glass of milk or a cup of coffee.
Storage
- Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, freeze in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months.
