Chocolate Covered Strawberry Cookies

I've said it before, but I'll say it again: I love Valentine's Day. Every year we look for unique and fun ways to show others around us how much we love them.

Every Valentine's Day, we head to my husband's office and pass out valentines to all of his co-workers. It has become one of my favorite traditions, and my kids love it too!

When you think of Valentine's Day treats, what typically comes to mind? I can't help but think of conversation hearts, boxes of chocolates, and especially chocolate covered strawberries. Is there even a better way to say, "I love you?" I don't think so.

With Valentine's Day in mind, I wanted to take my favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe and combine it with freeze dried strawberries. With this combination, I think we made the perfect Valentine's Day treat: chocolate covered strawberry cookies. Spoiler alert: if you work with my husband, you can look forward to these treats on Valentine's Day ♥

My daughter tasted them and said, "these are the best cookies you've ever made in the whole world!" I'll take it!
