No reviews

These rich and decadent Chocolate Cookies feature a luxurious combination of browned butter, dark chocolate chunks, and fresh strawberries for a unique twist on a classic treat. The dough is refrigerated to enhance flavor and texture, then baked to produce perfectly soft, chewy cookies with a deep caramelized butter flavor and bursts of fruity sweetness.

  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: 24 cookies

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 and 3/4 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 and 1/4 cups dark brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 sticks (1 cup) butter, browned
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Add-ins

  • 1 cup diced fresh strawberries
  • 2 bars dark chocolate, chopped (3.5 oz bars), recommended 70-72% cocoa

Instructions

  1. Brown the Butter: Slice the butter into tablespoon pieces and place in a light-colored pot over medium heat. Melt the butter fully, then increase the heat to medium-high. Whisk continuously until the milk solids brown and the butter turns a rich caramel or amber color, about 4-5 minutes after melting. Immediately pour into a heatproof bowl and let cool slightly.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the all purpose flour, white sugar, baking soda, and salt. Mix well to distribute evenly.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: To the cooled browned butter, add the dark brown sugar, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and eggs. Mix thoroughly until smooth and combined.
  4. Form the Dough: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Lightly stir to start blending them together. When the dough is nearly formed, fold in the diced fresh strawberries and chopped dark chocolate pieces. Stir until evenly mixed.
  5. Chill the Dough: Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator to chill for 30 minutes. This step helps the flavors meld and improves cookie texture.
  6. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) while the dough chills.
  7. Scoop and Bake: Once chilled, scoop and roll the dough into balls. Place them on a non-stick baking sheet spaced apart. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10 minutes until edges are set but centers remain soft. Remove from the oven and cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Using browned butter adds a deep, nutty flavor that elevates these cookies beyond the ordinary.
  • Fresh strawberries add moisture and a subtle tartness that balances the richness of chocolate and butter.
  • Chilling the dough helps control spread during baking and improves texture.
  • Use high-quality dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher) for best flavor.
  • Watch baking closely to avoid overbaking; cookies should be soft in the center when removed.
  • Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
