Chocolate Strawberry Cookies

I love homemade cookies and we always have them in our house. Whether they’re chocolate chip cookies, orange butter, walnut cookies, or plain condensed milk cookies the kids simply love them.

And as someone eager to see smiles to my children’s face, I make them a sweet treat every week. 🙂

I made these chocolate strawberry cookies with the last harvest of fresh strawberries from our own garden. They came out soft and flavorful, full of color and lots of texture. They have chocolate cream, ripe strawberries, and a sweet white chocolate glaze.

How can you say no to them? Let’s get started!

• How to make CHOCOLATE STRAWBERRY COOKIES:
• Mix the flour with the cocoa, sugar, and salt.
• Add the cubed butter and knead into a sandy dough with your fingers.
• Beat the egg lightly with a fork then mix it with 2 tablespoons of water.
• Add the liquid ingredients over the sandy dough.
• Make sure the dough binds with the liquid mixture.
• Knead a little, just until smooth. If the dough is not sufficiently bound, add another tablespoon or two of water.
• Wrap the dough in cling film and refrigerate for an hour.
• In the meantime, prepare the chocolate cream.
• Heat the cream well.
• Turn off the heat and add the chocolate broken into pieces.
• Mix until smooth. Finally add the mint essence. Let the cream cool down.
• After an hour, remove the dough from the refrigerator.
• Roll it out on a floured worktop into a 0.5mm (0.2 inch) thick rectangle.
• Cut out circles of 6-7cm (2.4-2.8 inch) diameter.
• Place the cookies on a baking tray lined with baking paper.
• Press gently in the center of each cookie to make a depression.
• Add the chocolate cream and top with a few slices of strawberries.
• Sprinkle a little brown sugar on top of each cookie.
• Bake for 12-15 minutes, until nicely browned on the sides. Place on a cooling rack to cool.
• Once cooled completely, decorate with melted white chocolate. They are a real treat!
