Want to keep these little delights around longer? You can store them in an airtight container at room temperature for about 5 days. If you want to save them for a rainy day, freeze them for up to 3 months!

Tips to Make Chocolate Covered Strawberry Cookies

Here are a few insider tricks to elevate your cookie game:

• Use room temperature butter for that perfect creamy mix.
• Chilling your dough for 30 minutes can result in firmer cookies—if you can resist digging in right away!
• Tossing your chocolate chips in a bit of flour before mixing in can prevent them from sinking to the bottom.

Variation

Want to switch it up? Here’s how: you could use white chocolate chips or even dark chocolate to change the flavor profile. Got a vegan friend? Swap out the butter for coconut oil and replace the eggs with applesauce or a flax egg for an easy vegan version. 🌱
