Description

Chocolate Covered Strawberry Cookies are a dreamy combination of soft, strawberry-flavored cookies topped with melted chocolate and a drizzle for a decadent treat. They’re perfect for Valentine’s Day, special occasions, or whenever you want to indulge in a sweet, fruity, and chocolaty dessert!


Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Cookies:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp strawberry extract
  • 1–2 drops pink gel food coloring (optional)
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt

For the Chocolate Topping:

  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or dark chocolate, melted
  • 1/4 cup white chocolate, melted (optional, for drizzling)

Optional Garnish:

  • Freeze-dried strawberries, crushed
  • Valentine’s sprinkles



Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cookie Dough:
    • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
    • In a large bowl, cream the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
    • Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, strawberry extract, and pink food coloring (if using) until well combined.
    • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until a soft dough forms.
  2. Shape and Bake:
    • Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
    • Gently flatten the tops of the dough balls with your fingers or the bottom of a glass.
    • Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are set. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  3. Add the Chocolate Topping:
    • Once the cookies are completely cool, dip the tops of each cookie into the melted semi-sweet chocolate, allowing the excess to drip off.
    • Place the cookies on parchment paper and drizzle with melted white chocolate, if desired.
  4. Decorate and Set:
    • Sprinkle crushed freeze-dried strawberries or Valentine’s sprinkles onto the chocolate while it’s still wet.
    • Let the chocolate set at room temperature, or refrigerate for 10–15 minutes until firm.
  5. Serve:
    • Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.



Notes

  • For a shortcut, use a strawberry-flavored boxed cookie mix and prepare according to package directions, then dip in chocolate.
  • Use milk chocolate or dark chocolate based on your preference.
  • These cookies make a great gift when packaged in a decorative box or bag.
