Method
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Gently fold in the fresh strawberry puree until evenly distributed.
Baking
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
Dipping
- While cookies cool, melt the semi-sweet chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth.
- Once cool, dip half of each cookie into melted chocolate and place on parchment paper to set.
- Optional: sprinkle crushed freeze-dried strawberries on top for added color and flavor.
Notes
For best results, use room temperature ingredients. Chill the dough for thicker cookies if desired. You can also experiment with different chocolate varieties and add nuts for texture.
