Chocolate covered strawberry cookies pair tender chocolate cookies with bright strawberry filling and fudgy ganache. They are the perfect cookies for Valentine’s Day (though you’ll catch me enjoying them year-round)!
Inspired by chocolate covered strawberries, these chocolate covered strawberry cookies are the *perfect* cookie to make for Valentine’s Day! Featuring soft, tender chocolatey cookies with a bright, fresh strawberry buttercream center and firm, fudgy chocolate ganache. Yum!
We’re using such chocolate cookie base, so that you can expect a rich and tender crumb. It pairs so well with the fresh strawberry filling!
Speaking of the filling, I wanted a bright, vibrant, natural strawberry center with fresh strawberry flavor, and the easiest and tastiest way to make this happen was with freeze dried strawberries. The end result is similar to a strawberry buttercream, but with a brighter flavor.
