01 -

The combination of fresh strawberry and melting chocolate creates that perfect sweettart balance everyone craves
These cookies look impressive on any dessert table but come together in under 30 minutes

02 -

Fresh strawberries add moisture so watch your bake time and pull them when edges just start turning golden
Press those chocolate kisses in gently but firmly right out of the oven or they will not stick properly

03 -

If using fresh strawberries pat them dry with paper towels before dicing to prevent soggy dough
Chill the dough for 15 minutes if your kitchen runs warm to keep cookies from spreading too much
