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!

Hailey says
Taste delicious! I didn’t have lemon juice so I used lime juice and I also added white chocolate chips and a few more strawberries. They are delicious!
Rosemary says
Hi Hailey, thanks so much, so glad you liked them, lime juice is a great idea. Take care.
Laurie Mays says
I can’t wait to make these cookies,they look so delicious. I’m going to make them Saturday.

Sidelle Brown says
Can I use butter instead of oil. I saw a recipe my daughter sent me from instagram I think where it used yogurt & butter. Looked so good
Rosemary says
Hi Sidelle, I have never made this cookie with butter, when substituting with butter a one for one is not recommended. I think it’s more butter than oil. Hope that helps.
Janine says
These cookies taste delicious. I made them for breakfast. Even though I used a sugar substitute for this recipe, they still came out great. Thank you so much for sharing.
Rosemary says
Hi Janine, thanks so much, so glad you enjoyed them. Have a wonderful weekend. Take care.
taylor says
Can I use avacodo oil instead of vegetable oil?
Rosemary says
Hi Taylor, I don’t see why not. Let me know how it goes. Take care.
Sandra Evans says
I made these cookies, but they seemed too ‘runny’ There was no way I could form a ball. I ended up adding more four, this didn’t help much. I even chilled the dough before baking. Any suggestions?
Rosemary says
Hi Sandra, there could have been too much moisture in your strawberries, they should be ripe but firm and if you use frozen do not thaw them. Hope that helps.
Sandra Evana says
So what can I do to correct the problem?? I don’t want FLAT cookies!
Rosemary says
Hi Sandra, I am not sure you can fix it depending on what you did. Even using a low protein flour (it should be at least 11%) can cause flat cookies. Make sure your baking powder is active. Let me know.
P contini says
Oops I forgot to whisk the ingredients before adding the flour! Hope they come out fine!
Rosemary says
Hi P contini, I think it will be fine. Let me know how it went.
Samantha says
Can the dough be frozen and kept for later? How long can it be kept for before baking? Thanks!
Rosemary says
Hi Samantha, yes the dough can be frozen, freeze in a freezer safe bag. It will keep up to 3 months in the freezer.
Clayton H. says
I tried this recipe twice. Very good flavor and all we’re eaten, however…
The excessive moisture from the strawberries made the cookies a bit too doughy or too moist. I’m going to try drying out the strawberries in my convection oven on low heat to see if that helps.
Also, I think I might try pretreating the berries with sugar and draining the juice off them…possibly using the juice in place of the lemon juice? I’ll post here again with my findings & results.
In any case, it’s a great cookie recipe.
Thanks!
Rosemary says
Hi Clayton, thanks let me know how it goes with the dried strawberries.
