We are FINALLY seeing signs of spring.ย As recent as last weekend, we had snow and freezing rain.ย Iโve only seen that kind of weather in Cleveland; when the hubs and I first started dating.ย Oh, wait, you donโt know that story? Well, the short of it is we met online.ย I lived, well, here.ย He lived in Cleveland.ย I used to โcommuteโ to DC every week for work.ย That was the joke.
ย
ย
So, this one weekend โ it was Easter weekend I remember it like it was yesterday โ I was there for a visit.ย We were going to make banana pudding for him to take to his sisterโs for Easter dinner.ย I didnโt even know there was snow in the forecast.ย There was already a good amount of snow on the ground when we went to the grocery for the ingredients.ย It.just.never.stopped.ย I was stuck there one more day.ย Oh no.ย Whatโs a girl to do?ย Oh yeah, it was also the home opening for the Cleveland Indians.ย Yeah, that didnโt happen either.
ย
So, last weekend reminded me of that week.ย It was cold with snow, sleet, and freezing rain.ย None of it really stuck like it did in Cleveland, but it was the first weekend of April, just like it was in Cleveland.ย We spent the weekend in the house watching television, baking these cookies, and just loafing it.
ย
ย
But not this weekend.ย Thereโs no loafing it this weekend with 60 and 70 degree weather on the horizon!ย Weโll be painting and planting and preparing the house for Mom and A to visit Memorial Day weekend.ย Yes.ย I know.ย Thatโs quite a ways away, but you see, thereโs like a week where weโre not going to be around. ย โWhyโs that?โ you ask?ย Well, thatโs because weโre headed to the Food and Wine Conference in Orlando May 13th through the 15th.ย Holy cow!!ย Itโs less than a month away!!!!
ย
Not only is #SundaySupper welcoming spring, but we welcome spring, too.ย Every chance we get, we will bust out the grill and cook up some dinner.ย We will dine al fresco on the balcony.ย And I hope hope HOPE that we will start to hike again.ย I canโt wait to get my knee all strengthened up.ย My goal is to go BACK to Rickettโs Glen and do that killer loop again.ย Twenty-three gorgeous waterfalls in a 4-mile loop.ย If you havenโt been, you really should go.ย Itโs amazing.ย These are all the reasons we will be welcoming spring now that itโs here.
ย
ย
And what better way to celebrate spring than with some delicious Florida strawberries in some decadent chocolate cookies?ย Because, to me at least, nothing says spring like deliciously sweet strawberries.ย Unfortunately, theyโre not QUITE in season in my area.ย Itโs still a little too early, but lucky for me, I have Florida strawberries at my local grocery store so I can enjoy their sweet flavor early!ย No, this isnโt a sponsored post.ย I just love their strawberries.
ย
Especially when you pair them with double chocolate cookies.ย Seriously.ย Just look at that cookie!!ย The dark chocolate cookie flecked with dark chocolate chips and bright red strawberries.ย You just know theyโre going to be addictive.ย The flavor the texture; theyโre one of THE BEST cookies Iโve made without a recipe.ย โWhatโs the best?โ you ask?ย Well, the macadamia nut ones have been THE BEST so far.ย At least, thatโs what the hubs said.ย I honestly donโt have many cookies on my blog that arenโt macaron.
ย
ย
Why not?ย Thatโs a good question.ย I just havenโt been baking as much as I used to, I guess.ย And I have some tried and true recipes like a chocolate chip one that I make when weโre hankering for some cookies.ย I need to remake and repost those cookies.ย I think those are his favorite cookies.ย Hmmโฆmaybe Iโll make him some this weekend!!
ย
ย
But these cookies right here?ย These delicious dark chocolate cookies flecked with sweet strawberry goodness?ย I think these Chocolate Covered Strawberry Cookies are my new favorite cookie.ย Theyโre slightly crisp on the edge, nice and chewy in the middle, gooey with melted chocolate chips, and have a nice surprise with the bits of strawberry.ย See what I mean?ย I just know these are going to be your new favorite cookie, too.
ย
Iโm drooling.ย Arenโt you drooling?ย Just grab ya a glass of milk, a small stack of these and you can easily welcome all the spring flavor you want in your kitchen with these cookies and all the other welcoming spring recipes the #SundaySupper group have made this week.ย I think thereโs like 60 recipes?ย Insane!!ย So, now you have no excuse NOT to welcome spring this week.

These look and sound so delicious!
Thank you!
These are gorgeous! I’ve never thought of putting strawberries with chocolate chips in cookies but I bet they are fabulous. We may have to make a batch this week.
Thank you! I hope you enjoy them as much as we have. The hubs is still nibbling on them, which is a good thing. That means they’re REALLY good.
I love the idea of turning a chocolate covered strawberry into a cookie.
Thank you! I did, too! So I had to see if it would work. I think it does!
These cookies are so pretty. Love chocolate cover strawberries. Going to have to make these.
Thank you! I love chocolate covered strawberries, too! Especially since the hubs had them in our room when we checked in for our one year anniversary.
Such a great idea for cookies! I am so enjoying our nice weather. What a change from last weekend!

Chocolate, strawberries and chips? It’s a winning cookie. They look beautiful and extremely delicious. Truly. Thanks so much for the expert mentoring.

Thank you, Liz! I ALMOST did a macaron, but I’ve chatted these up with FSGA a few times and figured I needed to deliver on my promises.
