Strawberry Chocolate Cookies Recipe

What you need:

• 1 cup coconut oil, melted (or unsweetened applesauce)
• 1 cup coconut sugar (or a sugar substitute of your choice)
• 2 large eggs or flaxseed eggs for a vegan option
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 cups whole wheat flour or almond flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup dark chocolate chips (at least 70% cocoa)
• 1 cup fresh strawberries, diced

What to do:

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.

Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine melted coconut oil (or applesauce), coconut sugar, eggs (or flaxseed eggs), and vanilla extract. Then mix until well combined.

Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together whole wheat flour (or almond flour), baking soda, baking powder, and salt.

Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain a tender texture.

Fold in Chocolate and Strawberries: Gently fold in dark chocolate chips and diced strawberries.
Enjoy the natural sweetness of strawberries and the richness of dark chocolate in every bite.

Scoop and Bake: Drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, allowing space between each cookie. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.

Cool and Delight: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. The healthy goodness of these cookies makes the wait worthwhile.

And that’s it! Super easy, right? For an added touch, melt some additional dark chocolate and drizzle it over the cooled cookies. This step enhances the chocolate flavor without compromising on health.
