In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside. In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugars together for about 1 ½ minutes, until light and fluffy.
Add the vanilla extract, egg, and egg yolk, and mix until just combined. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients, being careful not to over-mix. Fold in the chocolate chips and 1 cup of freeze-dried strawberries.
Scrape down the sides of the bowl, cover the dough, and refrigerate for 30-60 minutes. Scoop the dough using a 3-tablespoon cookie scoop and place it on the prepared cookie sheet, leaving about 2 ½ inches between each cookie.
Bake for 11 minutes, or until the cookies have crisp edges but are slightly underbaked in the center. Remove from the oven and gently press the remaining ½ cup of freeze-dried strawberries onto the tops of the cookies. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
