Easy Strawberry Cookies
Easy Strawberry CookiesI 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 Store Strawberry Cookies
The cookies should be stored in an airtight container. They can be left out at room temperature (if it isn’t too warm) over night. Longer than that they should be stored in the refrigerator. They will keep for up to a week.
Or they can be frozen in an airtight container or freezer bag. Cookies will last up to 3 months in the freezer.
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!

Melissa Sallee says
Is it possible to make these gluten-free by switching out the flour in the recipe for gluten-free flour? They look delicious!
Rosemary says
Hi Melissa, I don’t bake with gluten free flour so I can’t really say, you can try and see how it goes, I know some readers have used gluten free with great results. Let me know if you try it.
Cathy says
Hi, these look great. Can you puree the strawberries before mixing or does that add too much liquid? If so, any way to balance the liquid? Thanks!
Rosemary says
Hi Cathy, I have never made them with puree but in my opinion if you puree them, it will add more liquid, certainly don’t add a cup of puree (you may want to pour it through a sieve so remove the seeds, if it is really liquidy you could heat it on low/medium heat until it thickens, be careful it doesn’t burn) maybe 1/4-1/2 cup and cut back on the flour by 1/2 cup and 2 tablespoons less sugar add more flour if needed, check the video and photos for the thickness of the dough to start. Let me know how it goes.
Cathy says
Thank you so much for your reply! I’m going to give a try and I’ll let you know how it goes!
Natalie R says
What happens if you don’t use vegetable oil? I don’t have any on me right now, only extra virgin, canola, mct, and olive oil.
Rosemary says
Hi Natalie, if you change the oil the taste will change also, olive oil will give it a really taste, in my opinion too strong for this cookie. I have never used mct oil so I can’t say for that one. What about melted butter, make sure it has cooled though. Let me know how it goes.
Rosie C says
Incredibly delicious, thank you! My kids love them! May I know if I should use the same ratio of ingredients if I want to make 5x the amount at a go? We get a lot of strawberries in our garden in the summer.
Rosemary says
Hi Rosie, thanks so much so glad your kids love them. And yes 5x everything and lucky you for all the strawberries, my daughter would love it. Take care.

June Farr says
can I use frozen strawberries?
Rosemary says
Hi June, yes you can, just don’t thaw them. Let me know how it goes.
Elizabeth Miller says
Hi there! I loved this cookie. Could you freeze the dough in advance and then bake them, or is it best to bake them and then freeze?
Thanks!
Rosemary says
Hi Elizabeth for these cookies I think it is best to bake then freeze.

Candelina says
This is a great recipe! I love it with fresh strawberries. I used the same recipe and added blueberries instead of strawberries, it was great. Drizzled them with lemon icing. So good! Thanks for sharing.
