Strawberry Chocolate Chip Cookies
Pretty in pink, these soft Strawberry Chocolate Chip Cookies are made with an easy shortcut. These bakery-style cookies are studded with milk chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate chips and are perfect for year-round celebrations.
My family loves all things strawberry, and this cookie was inspired by my strawberry white chocolate cake mix cookies. Since not everyone likes white chocolate, I wanted to switch it up and make some with chocolate chips.
They were very well received by my family and neighbors when I made them. So much so, they’ve been requested a couple of times, and I even sent some to my college student.
