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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and mix until fully incorporated.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

In a food processor or blender, pulse the freeze-dried strawberries into a fine powder. Mix the strawberry powder into the cookie dough.

Step 7

Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips with a spatula.

Step 8

Scoop 1.5-tablespoon (about 30 grams) portions of dough and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 9

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.

Step 10

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.
