Ingredients
Chocolate Cookies
- 1½ cups salted butter, softened
- 1½ cups brown sugar
- ¼ cup honey
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons baking soda

Instructions
Chocolate Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350°F and line two cookie sheet pans with parchment paper.
- In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar and honey until light and fluffy. This takes about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each egg. Then beat in the vanilla extract.
- Add the dry ingredients: cocoa powder, baking soda, salt and all purpose flour. Mix on low speed just until everything is fully incorporated.
- Using a scant ½ cup or 3.25 oz ice cream scoop, make 12 cookie dough balls and place 6 on each prepared baking sheet.
- Roll dough into balls and flatten just slightly with the palm of your hand, but not too much, to resemble a thick hockey puck.
- Bake one pan at a time, in center of oven for 14-16 minutes until the edges are set and the centers no longer look wet and glossy.
- Let cookies cool on pan for 10 minutes and then transfer to wire rack to cool completely.
Strawberry Frosting
- Pulverize the freeze dried strawberries into powder with a food processor.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the softened butter until light and fluffy. About 2-3 minutes.
- Add the strawberry powder and vanilla extract and beat well.
- Add half the powdered sugar and beat well on low speed. Add the remaining powdered sugar and water and beat until mixed well.
- Increase the speed to medium an beat until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes, scraping the bowl a few times.
- Spread or pipe the frosting onto the cooled cookies.
