I adore cookies almost as much as I adore fresh strawberries. I miss the fresh tastes of summer berries during these dark winter months. I wanted to create a cookie with a fresh strawberry filling. I also wanted to create a cookie that would be easy to make as clean eating fresh strawberry cookies with just a couple of tweaks to the ingredients.
I made these chocolate dipped fresh strawberry cookies with just 5 ingredients. These cookies are perfect for any celebration, such as Valentine’s Day, wedding parties, engagement parties, or any party. It all starts with the cookie shell from my favorite Pecan Tassie Cookies.
FRESH STRAWBERRY COOKIES
One of my favorite cookies has always been Pecan Tassies. And they’re so adorable because they’re little bite-sized pie shaped cookies. As much as I love all kinds of cookies, sometimes I want a cookie with a fresh fruit flavor. I took the delicious cookie shell and filled it with chocolate drizzled fresh strawberries.
These fresh strawberry cookies are the perfect marriage of chocolate drizzled strawberries and a shortbread cookie. They’re heavenly and decadent and fresh tasting. If you like fruit cookies, you should also try my Oatmeal Blueberry Cookies.
If you want to make a clean eating version, use clean eating dark chocolate in place of the semi-sweet and white chocolate chips. Chocolate covered strawberries are the definition of a decadent treat. I wanted that flavor in this cookie, but with less sugar. Drizzling the chocolate gives you that delicious chocolate and strawberry combo while reducing the amount of chocolate used.

I love anything strawberry and these look yummy!
Me, too, Ellen, me, too. 🙂
I love this! Strawberries are my favorite fruit but I don’t like them baked. This is the perfect combination of fruit and baked goods for me!
Exactly, Nicole! I’m the same about baked strawberries. Hope you enjoy this recipe.
These look so good. I love the addition of the strawberry to the tassie. Drizzling the cookie with a strawberry is perfect! So yummy.
Thanks, Cynthia. It really is tasty in a fresh way.

Thanks, Kris. They’re always a hit around here. 🙂
These are perfect just the way they are! Keep the drizzle!
I totally agree, Cindy. 🙂
These are super cute! I am impressed that you can create them with so few ingredients, too. I think I actually have all of these ingredients in my kitchen, and I have been looking for a Valentine’s dessert to make with my kids. Thanks!
My family would love these! I love how fresh and healthy these are with no extra sugar added to the cookie.
They really are the best combo of cookie and fresh fruit. Enjoy, Tina.
HI Can these be made the night before a party or same day?
They’re best if made the same day, Robyn. What you can do is make the shells the day before and then just add the strawberries and chocolate drizzle the day of.
