Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle (or in a bowl with a handheld mixer), beat the room-temperature butter and brown sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
- Add the egg and vanilla. Beat until the mixture is pale and airy, about 2 minutes. Scrape the bowl once.
- Add the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Mix on low speed until just combined; avoid overmixing.
- Fold in the crushed freeze-dried strawberries and 1 cup of the semisweet chocolate chips with a spatula.
- Use a cookie scoop to portion dough into balls and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared sheets.
Baking
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, rotating the pans halfway, until the edges are set but the centers remain soft and gooey.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 15 minutes to finish setting while still soft.
- Place the remaining chocolate chips and the coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring between each, until the chocolate is melted and glossy.
- Dip the bottoms of each cookie into the melted chocolate, set them back on the parchment, and drizzle any remaining chocolate over the tops for decoration.
- Let the cookies sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes until the chocolate fully sets before stacking or packing.
Nutrition
Notes
Freeze-dried strawberries keep their concentrated flavor and crunch in the dough; if you only have dried strawberries, expect chewier pockets. For a dairy-free version, use vegan butter and dairy-free chips.
