Ingredient Notes:
Chocolate Chips: Feel free to use any chocolate chip that you like. I suggest and prefer semi-sweet (or even dark) to balance the sweetness. Almond Extract: Pure or imitation works just fine. We have tree nut allergies at my house so I always use imitation! Butter: I use real butter in my baking, but this recipe works well with butter flavored shortening, or half butter, half shortening. You are welcome to experiment with other butter alternatives as well, but I haven’t tested any.
Make the Strawberry Chocolate Chip Cookies
Add Chocolate Chips. You can use any kind of chocolate; I prefer dark or semi-sweet in most cookies to balance the sweetness.
Drop dough onto baking sheets and place a few extra chocolate chips on top. I like to press in a few small pieces of berries as well. If you add to many freeze dried berries to the top they can get a little too brown in the oven.
They will bake up soft and beautiful with chunks of melted chocolate and pieces of bright red berries.
