Strawberry chocolate cookies combine the delicious flavors of chocolate covered strawberries and chewy cookies into one epic cookie! Rich dark chocolate, fresh sweet strawberries, and a buttery chewy cookie…what’s not to love?!
Let me tell you, these are probably one of my favorite recent cookie creations. There’s just something irresistible about that flavor combination of sweet berries and rich dark chocolate. And the other extra special tough to these cookies is they’re made with brown butter.
Trust me on this, the rich caramel like flavor of brown butter takes these to the next level. If you’ve never made brown butter before, I include the instructions in the recipe card below, or you can read my post about how to make brown butter!
How to make Strawberry Cookies
Once you get comfortable making brown butter, these cookies are not complicated to throw together!
- Make the brown butter and allow it to cool slightly.
- Mix the dry ingredients.
- Mix the wet ingredients.
- Combine the wet and dry ingredients together.
- Add the diced strawberries and chopped chocolate. I use either this Lindt 70% dark chocolate or this Ghirardelli 72% dark chocolate
- Chill the dough in the fridge for 30 minutes.
- Bake!
Why do we chill cookie dough?
Now I know you want to get these cookies made as fast as you can, but you can’t skip the chilling of the dough. Since we’re using brown butter here that means we need to bring the butter back to a solid before baking the dough. By solidifying the fat again it means the cookies won’t spread out as thin during the baking. So if you skip this step you’ll end up with a really flat and thin cookie. Not what we want!
How to store the cookies
Because these have fresh fruit, these will eventually need to be stored in the fridge. You can leave these out the day you make them, but then place them in an airtight container and store them in the fridge. This will ensure the fruit stays fresh and good to eat!
How to reheat the cookies
Get that fresh baked taste and texture in just a few seconds! When you’re wanting a cookie snack just pop them in the microwave for 10 – 12 seconds. And just like that, you’ve got a warm soft baked cookie again!

Ingredients
2 and 3/4 cup all purpose flour
1 cup diced fresh strawberries
2 sticks butter, browned
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 and 1/4 cup dark brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 bars dark chocolate, chopped (3.5 oz bars) I use either this Lindt 70% dark chocolate or this Ghirardelli 72% dark chocolate
Instructions
1. First make the brown butter. Slice the butter into tablespoon portions and add to a light colored pot over medium heat. Cook the butter until evenly melted, then adjust the heat higher to medium-high. Allow the butter to come to a rapid bubbly simmer. While adjusting the heat between medium and medium-high, continually whisk the butter until the milk particles have browned and the liquid is a rich caramel or amber color. I’ve found that once the butter is melted this process takes 4-5 minutes. Once fully browned, immediately pour into a heat proof bowl and set aside to slightly cool before using in the rest of the recipe.
2. In a large bowl combine the flour, white sugar, baking soda, and salt.
3. To the bowl with the lightly cooled brown butter, add the brown sugar, vegetable oil, vanilla, and eggs. Mix to combine.
4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and lightly stir to start blending everything together. When the dough is just about formed, pour in the strawberries and the chopped dark chocolate. Stir to combine.
5. Place the bowl in the fridge to chill for 30 minutes.
6. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
7. When the dough has chilled, scoop and roll into cookie dough balls and place on a non-stick baking sheet. Bake the cookies for 10 minutes.
Notes
I like to make sure when I’m forming the cookie dough balls to place a strawberry piece directly next to a chocolate chunk, that way when it bakes you have a strawberry swimming in a pool of chocolate!
