Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup (50g) brown sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (175g) dark chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, thinly sliced
  • Optional: fresh blueberries or raspberries for extra color and flavor

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. In a large bowl, beat 1 cup softened unsalted butter with 3/4 cup granulated sugar and 1/4 cup brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Add 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat until combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  5. Slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing on low speed or folding gently until no flour streaks remain. Do not overmix.
  6. Use a tablespoon or small cookie scoop to portion dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart. Flatten each slightly.
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes until edges are golden and centers look set but still soft. Let cool on sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
  8. In a small saucepan, gently warm 2 tablespoons heavy cream until simmering. Pour over 1 cup dark chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl. Let sit 2 minutes, then stir until smooth.
  9. Dip each cooled cookie halfway into the chocolate ganache, letting excess drip off. Place on parchment to set.
  10. While chocolate is still wet, top each cookie with several thin strawberry slices (and other berries if using). Press gently to adhere and let chocolate set fully at room temperature or in the fridge for 15-20 minutes.

Notes

Chill cookie dough for 15-20 minutes before baking if kitchen is warm to prevent spreading. Use a double boiler or microwave in short bursts to melt chocolate without burning. Add fresh berries just before serving to keep topping fresh and prevent sogginess. If chocolate thickens too fast, gently rewarm.
