Ingredients
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup fresh strawberry puree (from about 1.5 cups fresh strawberries, reduced)
- 4 oz good quality dark chocolate, for drizzling
Instructions
- Prepare Strawberry Puree: Wash and hull strawberries. Puree in a blender. Simmer puree in a saucepan over medium-low heat until reduced by half and thickened. Let cool completely.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, cream softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract until smooth.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add to wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in Puree: Gently fold the cooled strawberry puree into the dough until evenly distributed.
- Chill Dough: Cover and chill dough in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour (up to 24 hours).
- Bake Cookies: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto sheets. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until edges are lightly golden. Cool on wire racks.
- Drizzle Chocolate: Once cookies are completely cool, melt dark chocolate. Drizzle over cookies and let set before serving.
