Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the sifted flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and sea salt until well combined.
- In a large bowl, cream the clarified butter with granulated and light brown sugars until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
- Gradually add the lightly beaten eggs and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, beating until fully incorporated.
- Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture with a spatula until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Gently stir in the dark chocolate chunks and diced strawberries until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Using a cookie scoop, drop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft. For perfectly chewy cookies, avoid overbaking.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
These cookies are a delightful contrast of textures—crispy on the outside, tender and slightly gooey inside, with bursts of strawberry freshness. Try serving them warm with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream for an indulgent twist.
Strawberry Mint Cookies

Finally, a cookie that combines the freshness of summer strawberries with the cool hint of mint—perfect for those warm afternoons when you crave something sweet yet refreshing. I stumbled upon this recipe during a weekend farmers’ market visit, inspired by the vibrant red strawberries that seemed to beg for a twist on the classic cookie.

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the clarified butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
- Gradually add the lightly beaten egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
- Sift in the all-purpose flour and fine sea salt, mixing just until the dough comes together to avoid overworking.
- Gently fold in the finely diced strawberries and chopped mint leaves until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Using a tablespoon, drop dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
- Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to turn golden but the centers remain soft.
