What You Need To Make These Cookies

Equipment:

  • Mixing Bowls: Having mixing bowls in a variety of sizes help in the process of making these cookies.
  • Medium Cookie Scoop: The best way to scoop out your cookie dough is with a cookie scoop or ice cream scoop. It makes it so that all your cookies are uniform in size.
  • Hand Mixer: Having a good hand mixer makes mixing the dough much easier.
  • Baking Sheet: Having a good baking sheet is vital when baking cookies. It ensures that your cookies will bake and brown evenly. I like one that is sturdy so that it does not warp under high heat. No need for non stick, I always use a sheet of Parchment Paper, which not only prevents sticking but also makes clean up a breeze.

Ingredients:

  • Chocolate Chips: For this recipe I used both Bittersweet Chocolate Chips and Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips. This makes the perfect balance of slightly bitter and sweet flavored chocolate.
  • Butter: I always use unsalted butter so that I can control the salt content in my recipes.
  • This recipe calls for both Granulated Sugar and Brown Sugar.
  • Egg: Keep the egg at room temperature so that it blends into the other ingredients easily.
  • Vanilla Extract: I always opt for Pure Vanilla Extract due to its intense vanilla flavor.
  • Flour:All Purpose Flour is perfect for these cookies.
  • Baking Powder & Baking Soda: These are the leavening agents giving these cookies a light and fluffy texture.
  • Salt: Adding a pinch of salt will enhance the flavors in the cookie.
  • Espresso Powder: Adding Espresso Powder to chocolate recipes enhances the chocolate flavor.
  • Strawberries: For this recipe I used Freeze Dried Strawberries. Using freeze dried strawberries will add intense strawberry flavor without adding the moisture that fresh strawberries add.
  • Chocolate Hearts: I decorated the tops of these cookies with Dove Dark Chocolate Hearts.

Tips For Making These Cookies

  • Do Not Over Mix: Overmixing your dough will cause it to be tough. You will want to mix until just combined.
  • Uniform Cookies: To get your cookies to be uniform in size, scoop out your cookies using an ice cream scoop.
  • Chocolate Heart: While the cookies are still warm, place a chocolate heart on the top of each one. This will allow the chocolate to melt slightly and stick to the cookie once it cools.
