Equipment
- hand mixer, oven
Ingredients
- ½ cup dairy-free butter softened
- 1 cup coconut sugar
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- ¼ cup plain unsweetened soy milk
- 1¼ cup gluten free 1:1 all purpose flour
- ½ cup raw unsweetened cacao powder
- ½ tsp sea salt
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ¾ cup dairy free dark chocolate chips
- 1 cup freeze-dried strawberry pieces
Toppings
- ½ cup dairy-free white chocolate
- ¼ cup freeze dried strawberry pieces
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350d and line a large metal baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Add the butter, sugar, maple syrup, vanilla, and soy milk to a bowl and use a hand mixer to mix on high for 60 seconds until light and creamy.
- Next, add in the flour, cacao, sea salt and baking soda and mix just until combined.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips and strawberry pieces.
- Use a 1.5 tbsp scoop to scoop out cookie dough balls on to the baking sheet. Bake for 7-8 minutes - do not over bake! They will look very soft but they will firm up as they cool. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a cooling rack. Let cool completely.
- Place white chocolate in a microwave-safe dish. Microwave at 50% power in 30 second increments until melted.
- Use a spoon to drizzle or transfer to a squeeze bottle and top each cookie with white chocolate. Immediately sprinkle with strawberry pieces. Let white chocolate harden completely before storing.
