Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup (165g) packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups (280g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups (270g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup (150g) fresh strawberries, chopped into bite-sized pieces

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the oven rack in the center.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup softened unsalted butter, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, and 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar until fluffy and pale, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 2 teaspoons vanilla extract until smooth and glossy.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Gently fold in 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1 cup chopped fresh strawberries, being careful not to break up the berries.
  7. Spread the cookie dough evenly into a greased 10-inch cast iron skillet and smooth the top with a spatula.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes until edges are golden brown and set but the center remains slightly soft and gooey.
  9. Let the cookie cool in the skillet for 10 minutes before serving warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

Use firm, ripe strawberries to hold shape during baking. If using frozen strawberries, thaw and drain excess moisture to avoid sogginess. Tent with foil if edges brown too quickly. Avoid overmixing dough to prevent toughness. Room temperature eggs and butter improve texture. Can substitute gluten-free flour and dairy-free butter/chocolate for dietary needs.
