Ingredients

2¼ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
12 Tablespoons UNSALTED butter softened
½ cup granulated sugar
¾ cup light brown sugar packed
1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs
½ cup fresh strawberries chopped into small pieces
1 cup milk chocolate chips/white chocolate chips
additional chocolate chips for topping

Instructions

Preheat oven to 370F degrees. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Set aside.
Whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium size bowl. Set aside.
In a large bowl, using an electric or stand mixer, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, light brown sugar, and vanilla extract until combined.
Add eggs one at a time, mixing between each egg.
Add flour mixture and mix until just combined. DO NOT OVERMIX!
Using a spatula, stir in fresh strawberries and chocolate chips until combined.
Using a cookie scoop/ice cream scooper, scoop dough into balls about 2 Tablespoons each and place onto prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 10 minutes, rotate baking sheet clockwise and bake for additional 4-5 minutes or until golden brown around the edges.
Immediately after taking cookies out of the oven, place additional chocolate chips on top of cookies and let cool for 5 minutes on baking sheet before moving them to a wire rack.

Notes

Don't overmix the cookie dough. Once you add the flour the gluten starts to activate and when it's overmixed your cookies may end up tough rather than soft.
Press extra chips on the top right when the cookies come out of oven. I usually add three or so chips to the top and gently push them into the soft cookie. They will melt into the cookie but mostly hold their shape making the cookies look fabulous.
Use different chips. You can swap the milk chocolate for white chocolate, dark chocolate, or semi-sweet chocolate chips.
Swap the fruit. You can use any other berry you want.
Fourth of July cookies. Use a quarter cup of strawberries and a quarter cup of blueberries along with white chocolate chips for patriotic cookies.
Store. These cookies will stay deliciously fresh when stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days! If you need them to last a little longer, place the container in the fridge where they’ll keep fresh for about 5 days.
Freeze. Pack up fully cooled cookies in a freezer bag or container and freeze them for up to three months. They will quickly thaw out in about 30 minutes on the counter at room temperature.
