Description

A delicious twist on the classic chocolate chip cookie with hints of almond extract and bright berries!


Ingredients

  • 3 cups flour, spooned lightly into measuring cups and then leveled with a knife
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup real butter at room temperature*
  • ¾ cup white sugar
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 tablespoon almond extract
  • 12-ounce bag chocolate chips
  • 1 1/22 cups roughly chopped freeze-dried strawberries*

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. Combine flour, salt, and baking soda in a small bowl and set aside.
  3. In the bowl of a stand-mixer, combine shortening, butter, brown sugar and white sugar. Beat at medium speed until creamy. Add in eggs, one at a time, beating until each one is incorporated. Add vanilla and almond extracts.
  4. Add dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Add chocolate chips and strawberries and mix until well blended.
  5. Use a cookie scoop to portion dough into 1 1/2″ balls and place on baking sheet
  6. Bake for 8-10 minutes, until set on edges and slightly soft in centers. Remove and let cool on baking sheet for 2-3 minutes and then transfer to cooling rack. Yields about 3 dozen.

Notes

*feel free to use butter flavored shortening in place of butter, or half butter and half shortening.

* Freeze-dried berries can be roughly chopped with a knife, or simply broken up with your hands a bit. The amount is flexible. There’s a large curve depending on how much you break down your berries.  If you are crushing them into teeny tiny pieces you will need a lot to fill 2 cups.  I simply use a knife or my hands to break down pieces so they are similar in size to a chocolate chip.  Don’t stress if you don’t have a full 2 cups!
