Easy Strawberry Cookies
Easy Strawberry Cookies made with Fresh Strawberries and baked in 15 minutes. One bowl, no beaters necessary, soft, delicious cookies. The perfect summertime cookie recipe. Sprinkle a little powdered sugar or drizzle with melted chocolate and make them extra special.
I am now starting to get into strawberry mode. And since the season has just started here in Italy, I knew I had to make a batch of Strawberry Cookies again.
And to tell the truth I have been on a roll these days with “recipes the Italian won’t share” including Strawberry Cream Cheese Strudel , Chocolate Panna Cotta with a tasty Strawberry Topping and this popular Strawberry Mousse, of course these cookies are still on the list.
I really hope you are not sick of strawberries yet, because I still have a couple of recipe waiting in the wings! But these cookies I just had to post. 1. They are really good and make a great snack. 2. All you need is one bowl, a whisk and a spatula.

How to Make Strawberry Cookies
Gently fold in the chopped strawberries just until combined, do not over mix. Either form into balls or drop by spoonfuls on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle with a little sugar and bake until lightly golden. Cool and serve!
By the time strawberries are finished here in Italy I will be making my way to Canada to be re introduced to them for the start of the summer. So I might just have to think of a few more recipes.
Do you plant strawberries? I can remember every year I would plant my own Strawberries in Pots and my kids could not wait for the first strawberry to appear. There is nothing like home grown strawberries especially in Strawberry Cookies. Enjoy!

And while you are at it why not plant a few tomatoes in pots too!

A softer/cakey cookie, but so delicious with some chocolate chips, balances the sour of the strawberry well. My mother in law did think they should be a bit sweeter
Hi Rhikendall, thanks so much, glad you enjoyed them. You can add a bit more sure if you want. Take care!
I followed this recipe to the letter and the batter come out wet and sticky so I spooned the mix on a tray and they come out rather cakelike still tasty but any thought on how to get a firmer batter?
Hi Scott, it could have been because your berries were very juicy, just add a bit more flour or less berries. Hope that helps. Take care!
I think I will add a bit more sugar next time , but tasty anyways
Hi Laura, thanks glad you enjoyed them. Take care!
Can I send the cookies via mail, or would they spoil?
Hi Marie, I have never sent them by mail, but depending on how many days it takes, they may spoil.
These cookies are really good. They’re just lightly sweet and have a really light texture; similar to a scone but lighter and better. These would be great on a breakfast buffet.
After reviewing other comments, I added lemon zest from the lemon I juiced and added 1/4 teaspoon of kosher salt. I’ll make these again for sure. I’ve already made two batches in two days. (My standard “vegetable oil” is avocado and it works fine in these cookies.)
Hi Margaret, thanks so much, so glad you enjoyed them. Take care!
Hi! Can I use melted butter instead of the oil? I am assuming I can whisk and stir. No need for s mixer.
Hi Williemenia, yes you can use melted butter and yes you can whisk it together. Take care!
Can raspberry be used instead of strawberries
Hi Sylvia, yes I think that would work. Let me know how it goes. Take care!
These easy to make cookies came out perfect just as written. Wonderful with a cup of tea or any time. Kids loved them.
Hi Angie, thanks so much, so glad everyone enjoyed them. Take care!
