RECIPE
Strawberry Chocolate Chip Cookies
Strawberry season is here and these cookies are one of my favorite recipes. A little bit of fresh strawberries mixed with chocolate chips makes for the perfect cookie. It is almost like eating a chocolate covered strawberry, but in a cookie form. It is super easy to make and doesn’t require any refrigeration time. However a hand or stand mixer is needed. Fresh, not frozen strawberries are a must and mini chocolate chips are preferred.
Everyone that has tried these cookies, loves them. I always work on balance in my life. And these cookies represent balance to me, a little bit of chocolate and strawberries.

Tips & Recommendations
You have to use fresh strawberries with this recipe, frozen will add too much liquid. Make sure you dice the strawberries into small pieces. Mini chocolate chips work the best, but you can use regular size chocolate chips.
