Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup 2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup chopped fresh strawberries
  • 4 ounces melting chocolate for dipping
  • Optional: Sprinkles for decoration

Instructions
 

Cream the Butter and Sugars

  • Get your softened butter. Add granulated and brown sugars. Beat them together. Use an electric mixer. Beat until light and fluffy. This takes a few minutes.

Add Eggs and Vanilla

  • Now, crack in the eggs. Add them one at a time. Mix well after each egg. Stir in the vanilla extract. Scrape down the bowl's sides.

Mix Dry Ingredients

  • In a separate bowl, combine flour. Add baking soda and salt. Whisk these dry ingredients. Make sure they are well mixed.

Combine Wet and Dry

  • Slowly add dry ingredients. Mix into the wet mixture. Do not overmix the dough. Mix until just combined.

Fold in Chocolate Chips and Strawberries

  • Gently fold in chocolate chips. Add your chopped fresh strawberries. Be careful not to mash them.

Chill the Dough

  • Cover the cookie dough. Chill it for at least 30 minutes. This helps the cookies spread less.

Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheets

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.

Scoop and Bake Cookies

  • Scoop dough onto sheets. Use a cookie scoop. Leave space between cookies. Bake for 10-12 minutes. Edges should be golden. Centers should be soft.

Cool Cookies

  • Let cookies cool on sheets. Cool for a few minutes. Then move to a wire rack. Cool completely.

Melt Chocolate for Dipping

  • Melt your dipping chocolate. Use a small saucepan. Melt over low heat. Stir constantly. Or use a microwave. Heat in 30-second bursts. Stir until smooth.

Dip Cookies

  • Dip cooled cookies into chocolate. Dip about halfway. Let excess chocolate drip off. Place on parchment paper.

Decorate and Chill

  • Add sprinkles if you like. Chill cookies to set chocolate. This takes about 15-20 minutes.

Notes

  • Use Softened Butter: This is key. It creams better with sugar.
  • Don't Overmix: Overmixing makes tough cookies. Mix until just combined.
  • Fresh Strawberries: Use fresh, ripe strawberries. They have the best flavor.
  • Chill the Dough: Do not skip this step. It prevents spreading.
  • Melt Chocolate Carefully: Don't burn the chocolate. Low heat is best.
  • Cool Cookies Completely: Warm cookies will melt the dip.
  • Storage: Store in an airtight container. Keep in the fridge.
