How do I store leftover cookie dough?

To keep leftover cookie dough fresh, place it in an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator. It will stay good for about three days. If you want to save it longer, you can freeze it. Just remember to thaw it in the fridge before baking.

What other fruits can I use instead of strawberries?

You can easily swap strawberries for other fruits like raspberries, blueberries, or chopped peaches. Each fruit will bring its own unique flavor and texture to the cookies, making them equally delightful. Just ensure they're fresh and ripe for the best results.

Can I use a sugar substitute in the recipe?

Yes, you can use sugar substitutes depending on your dietary preferences. Just ensure it's suitable for baking. Sweeteners like erythritol or stevia can be used, but the texture and taste might vary slightly, so be sure to check the substitute's packaging for measurements.

How can I make these cookies more indulgent?

If you're looking for a more decadent treat, consider adding more chocolate. You could also drizzle extra chocolate on top after the strawberries set, or even sprinkle some sea salt for a fancy touch. Incorporating nuts or toffee bits can further enhance the richness.
