I have started to redefine my blog by sharing about what I am exploring with my cooking or recipe. These Chocolate Chip Strawberry Cookies were an exploration into seeing what textural difference would occur from making them the regular way and making them gluten free. Unfortunately, I took the pictures only of the regular cookies because I had not yet translated my new blog idea into reality. I can share that the primary textural difference with a gluten free cookie is its consistency is a little more crumbly.
In a future series, I am going to make gluten free cookies and vary a few common gluten free ingredients to see how it affects the end product. In this gluten version, I wanted to get a nice big cookie. Not big in size but big in density. I like a cookie that you can really bite into. I actual freeze my cookies to eat them, not to preserve them. Do any of you freeze your cookies too? The two tricks to making a dense cookie is to chill the dough and use an ice cream scooper to form a nice solid ball before baking. The cookie balls are formed first. Then, I put them in the fridge for a good 30 minutes.
A couple of other unique modifications or additions in this Chocolate Chip Strawberry Cookies recipe is I substituted plain Greek fat free yogurt, and I used Grandma’s famous strawberry jelly. It is famous in our family. To this day, grandma is still making this jelly and you can find jars of it in most of her children’s houses and in my kid’s places as well.

Excuse me? Where’s the louvre? You can clearly see my thumb in one of those pictures. And I think it was my recipe…
Peter Block
Allow this be a personal apology to my daughter for not giving her proper credit for the recipe idea and her participation in making these cookies. I love you Molly!
Molly Kumar
These cookies look so delicious and love the addition of chocolate chip+strawberry. I’m always stuck with so many strawberries after teh picking season and this would be a perfect recipe to use then.
Peter Block
Thx Molly and now you know what to do with all your strawberries.
Sandhya Ramakrishnan
That is a lovely cookie recipe with strawberry and chocolate chips. Kids would love the burst of flavors in the cookies.
Peter Block
Kids for sure and that is what I say when I make them so that I can enjoy them too.

I love this idea. Strawberries and chocolate are made for each other. I’ll take a dozen – you deliver, right?
Peter Block
I can if you like Kylee!
Marisa Franca @ All Our Way
I’ve always loved chocolate covered strawberries so it’s really fantastic that you combine both flavors in one cookie. I can’t wait to try these out. Our grandsons love cookies and strawberries plus chocolate chips. This is a win-win-win.
Peter Block
Lucky grandsons if you make these for them.

What a creative combination! I love chocolate and strawberry cookies but have never seen the two together.
Peter Block
Thx so much Val.
Noel Lizotte
What a great combination! I’ll bet these would disappear in a hurry. I like how soft / chewy they look in the pictures. I’m not a fan of crunchy chocolate chip cookies. Thanks for sharing!
Peter Block
I like to put my cookies in the freezer to make them extra crunchy. Funny! Do you say tomato or tomato?
Gillian Thompson

I really like using Greek yogurt in baking. I recently made a quick bread with Greek yogurt in the dough.

I so agree – Greek yogurt is a great substitute for so many recipes.
