Ingredients
Scale
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup packed 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 fresh strawberries, chopped small
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until creamy.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Gently fold in the chopped strawberries and chocolate chips by hand.
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before moving them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Ensure your strawberries are patted dry after chopping to prevent the cookie dough from becoming too wet.
If you prefer a slightly chewier cookie, chill the dough for 30 minutes before scooping.
You can substitute milk chocolate chips for semi-sweet if you prefer a sweeter cookie.
