These triple chocolate strawberry cookie hearts combine semi-sweet, white, and dark chocolate with fresh strawberries for a rich, indulgent, and festive Valentine’s Day treat that’s quick and easy to make.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups (315g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (227g) unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup (165g) packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup (130g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ½ cup (90g) white chocolate chips
  • ½ cup (85g) dark chocolate chunks
  • 1 cup (150g) fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract until well combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed or folding gently with a spatula until just combined. The dough should be soft but not too sticky.
  6. Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, dark chocolate chunks, and chopped fresh strawberries, being careful not to mash the strawberries.
  7. Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop dough onto the prepared baking sheets. Press dough balls gently into a heart-shaped cookie cutter on the sheet to form hearts, or shape by hand if you don’t have a cutter.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden but centers still look soft.
  9. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
  10. Serve slightly warm or at room temperature.

Notes

If strawberries release too much juice, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to reduce spreading. Watch cookies closely in the last few minutes of baking to avoid overbaking. Use softened (not melted) butter for best texture. For gluten-free, substitute almond flour; for dairy-free, use coconut oil and dairy-free chocolate chips.
