Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup freeze-dried strawberries, crushed
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips, melted
- ¼ cup white chocolate, melted (optional for drizzle)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In another bowl, cream the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix until combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet, mixing until a dough forms.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the baking sheets, flatten slightly with your palm.
- Bake for 8–10 minutes until edges are just set. Let cool completely.
- In a separate bowl, beat butter, powdered sugar, crushed strawberries, and cream until smooth.
- Spread or pipe strawberry filling onto half of the cookies and sandwich with the other halves.
- Dip each cookie sandwich halfway into melted dark chocolate. Place on parchment paper and drizzle with white chocolate if desired.
- Let chocolate set before serving.
Notes
- Use freeze-dried strawberries for a punchy berry flavor without moisture issues.
- Chilling the dough prevents cookies from spreading too much.
- Store in the fridge for best texture and shelf life.
- For a brighter filling, add a touch of strawberry extract or natural pink food coloring.
