Ingredients

Units Scale

Dough:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 teaspoons strawberry extract
  • 12 drops pink food coloring (optional)
  • 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Filling and Coating:

  • 1620 milk chocolate squares or chocolate truffles
  • additional granulated sugar for rolling

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cream butter and sugar: In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and 1 ½ cups of sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add wet ingredients: Add the egg, strawberry extract, and food coloring, then mix until well combined.
  4. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Combine wet and dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until a soft dough forms.
  6. Stuff and roll: Scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough, flatten it slightly in your hand, and place a chocolate square or truffle in the center. Wrap the dough around the chocolate and roll it into a ball, ensuring it’s fully sealed.
  7. Coat and bake: Roll each dough ball in additional granulated sugar and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops are slightly cracked.
  8. Cool and serve: Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For a gooey center, serve the cookies slightly warm.
  • You can use dark chocolate or white chocolate instead of milk chocolate if preferred.
  • Freeze stuffed dough balls for up to 1 month and bake straight from frozen, adding 2–3 extra minutes to the baking time.
