Description

Chocolate Covered Strawberry Cookies are soft, chewy treats bursting with strawberry flavor and coated in rich melted chocolate for a decadent finish. These cookies combine the sweetness of strawberries with the indulgence of a chocolate-dipped dessert—perfect for Valentine’s Day, gifting, or anytime you’re craving a fruity-chocolate combo.

Ingredients

Cookie Dough

  • 1 box (15.25 oz) strawberry cake mix
  • 2 large eggs
  • ⅓ cup vegetable oil
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Chocolate Coating

  • 1 cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil or butter (optional, for smoother melting)

Garnish (Optional)

  • Freeze-dried strawberries or sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Prepare Oven and Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and help with easy cleanup.
  2. Mix Dough: In a large bowl, combine the strawberry cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Stir together until a soft dough forms, ensuring all ingredients are fully incorporated.
  3. Shape and Bake Cookies: Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading. Bake in the preheated oven for 9 to 11 minutes or until the edges are set and the centers remain slightly soft for a chewy texture.
  4. Cool Cookies: Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. This prevents breakage and prepares them for dipping.
  5. Melt Chocolate: While cookies are cooling, melt the chocolate chips with the coconut oil or butter (if using) in the microwave. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted.
  6. Dip Cookies in Chocolate: Dip half of each cooled cookie into the melted chocolate, allowing excess chocolate to drip off. Place the dipped cookies back onto parchment paper to set.
  7. Garnish and Set: Optionally, sprinkle crushed freeze-dried strawberries or decorative sprinkles on the chocolate before it hardens to add a pop of color and extra strawberry flavor. Let the chocolate coating harden completely before serving or storing.

Notes

  • For an extra strawberry punch, mix in ½ cup of freeze-dried strawberry pieces directly into the cookie dough before baking.
  • Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days to maintain freshness and texture.
