    Chocolate Covered Strawberry Cookies – Broma Bakery

    Print Recipe

    Ingredients

    Scale
    • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
    • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
    • 1 large egg, at room temperature
    • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
    • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
    • 1/3 cup Dutch-processed cocoa powder
    • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
    • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
    • 1/2 teaspoon salt
    • 1 cup freeze dried strawberries
    • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
    • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
    • 1 teaspoon coconut oil

    Instructions

    1. First, make the cookies. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
    2. In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add the butter and brown sugar and beat on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
    3. Use a silicone spatula to scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl, then add in the egg and vanilla.
    4. Beat on medium-high speed until mixture is light and pale in color, about 2 minutes, scraping down the bowl as needed.
    5. Add the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder and salt and beat on low speed until just combined and no streaks of flour remain, about 30 seconds. Add the freeze dried strawberries and chocolate chips and fold to combine.
    6. Use a 1 ½ ounce cookie scoop to portion out equal amounts of dough (a large spoon also works; the ball should be about 3 tablespoons). Place on the prepared baking sheets, spacing the dough balls 2 inches apart. Bake until the cookies have puffed up and are set and firm around the edges but still somewhat gooey in the middle, 10 to 12 minutes.
    7. Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the cookies to cool slightly, about 15 minutes.
    8. Once the cookies have cooled, melt the chocolate for the chocolate coated bottom and drizzle. Place the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30 second increments, using a silicone spatula to stir between each, until the chocolate is fully melted.
    9. Dip the bottom of each cookie in the chocolate, scraping off the excess before placing back on the cool parchment paper lined sheet. Repeat with all the cookies. If desired, use the remaining chocolate to drizzle over the tops of the cookies. Allow the cookies to sit for 30 minutes or until the chocolate is fully set before serving.

    Filled Heart-Shaped Strawberry Shortbread Cookies

    Description

    Delicious Filled Heart-Shaped Strawberry Shortbread Cookies recipe with step-by-step instructions.

    Ingredients

    Scale
    • 4.8 oz unsalted butter (I like Kerrygold for its high fat content and richness)
    • 2.1 oz sugar
    • 1.25 tsp vanilla
    • 6.5 oz flour (I always use King Arthur all-purpose flour for a consistent crumb)
    • 1/4 tsp salt

    Instructions

    1. Start by sifting the powdered sugar for the glaze to remove any lumpsthis ensures a smooth, professional-looking finish. While that's done, cut the unsalted butter into small cubes so it softens to room temperature quickly (this helps it cream evenly with the sugar). In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour and salt, then set aside. In a separate bowl, cream together the butter and sugar for 2-3 minutes until the mixture is light, fluffy, and palethis incorporates air into the dough, creating a more tender cookie. Add the vanilla extract and mix until fully combined.
    2. Add the flour and salt mixture from Step 1 to the butter-sugar mixture and mix on low speed just until a cohesive dough formsovermixing develops gluten and creates tough cookies, which we want to avoid. Roll the dough out between two pieces of parchment paper to 1/2 cm thick, which gives you an even thickness for consistent baking. Cut the dough into heart shapes using a cookie cutter and transfer each cookie to a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart. Cover the baking sheet with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutesthis resting time prevents the cookies from spreading too much in the oven and helps them hold their shape.
    3. While the dough chills, preheat your oven to 170°C (335°F). Once the cookies have finished resting, bake them for 10-12 minutes until they're set but still pale and tenderoverbaking will make them dry and hard rather than delicate and buttery. Remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. I find that letting them cool completely before glazing prevents the glaze from melting unevenly.
    4. In a small bowl, combine the sifted powdered sugar from Step 1, strawberry puree, butter, milk, and lemon juice. Mix until the glaze is completely smooth and spreadablethe lemon juice brightens the strawberry flavor and prevents the glaze from being overly sweet. The mixture should have a thick but pourable consistency; if it's too stiff, add a few more drops of milk. If it becomes too thin, add more powdered sugar a little at a time.
    5. Separate the cooled cookies into two equal groups. Dip one half of the cookies into the strawberry glaze from Step 4, coating the top surface evenly and letting any excess drip back into the bowl. Spread about 1 teaspoon of strawberry jam onto the top of each remaining cookie, then gently press a glazed cookie and a jam-topped cookie together, glazed side and jam side facing each other, to create a sandwich. The flavors complement each other beautifullyI love how the tartness of the jam balances the sweetness of the glaze. Let the assembled cookies set on a plate for 15-20 minutes so the glaze firms up slightly before serving.

    Description

    Strawberry muffins made from scratch are such a delicious treat! With a yummy streusel crumb topping, this is sure to become a weekend favorite!

    Ingredients

    Scale
    • 2 tablespoons butter softened
    • 1/8 cup lightly packed brown sugar
    • 1/4 cup all purpose flour

    Instructions

    1. Preheat oven to 400 F, and line a cupcake tin with cupcake liners.
    2. Prepare the streusel crumb topping: combine flour, butter, and brown sugar. Use a pastry cutter or fork to cut the butter into the flour until crumbly.
    3. In a medium sized mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
    4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: eggs, milk, oil, vanilla. Once combined, stir in the sliced strawberries.
    5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. It is important to not overmix, a few lumps are okay.
    6. Fill each muffin mold with batter 2/3 full. Sprinkle each muffin with streusel topping (approximately 1 tablespoon per muffin).
    7. Bake at 400 F for 15-17 minutes. Or until muffins spring back like a sponge when pressed gently.

    Notes

    If using frozen strawberries, do not thaw. You may need to increase cooking time 2-5 minutes. Reduce milk to 3/4 cup.
    This recipe makes 12-18 muffins depending how full you fill your muffin liners.
