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!

Sloan says
AMAZING COOKIES! Super tasty. Loved the texture. Rave reviews from my household. I ate more than my share after they cooled.
I’d recommend placing the second batch/baking tray of dough in the fridge until ready to bake. Mine lost their shape and the texture was different as the dough sat in the warm kitchen before baking. Still delicious, just different.
Rosemary says
Hi Sloan, thanks so much, so glad you enjoyed them. Good tip, thanks. Take care.
Tayo Kaiser says
Just added some strawberry purée for extra flavour and Color. I added some flour to not ruin structure. There in the oven right now !!!
Rosemary says
Hi Tayo, sounds good, let me know how it goes. 🙂
Mae Mae says
Quick question and I know the answer will probably be no. I was looking up simple ingredient recipes since I have yet to replenish my spice rack. I have no vanilla nor lemon juice. Please note if possible I intend to eat these tonight if that makes any difference….. Any suggestions? Can this be made without those two very important baking ingredients? Thanks non-baker normally
Rosemary says
Hi Mae Mae, yes I am sure it will be fine, the lemon and vanilla give more flavouring, but I think they will still taste good. Let me know how it goes.

Can I use frozen strawberries?
Rosemary says
Yes you can don’t thaw them though.
Christy says
Can these be made with frozen strawberries?
Rosemary says
Hi Christy yes they can, although I wouldn’t thaw them first. Let me know how it goes.
Rich Smith says
I made this recipe using whole fresh blueberries. This required that I make the balls a bit larger which yielded a fewer but larger cookies. I had to leave them in the oven a few minutes longer (watching the slight brown color change at the base of the cookies). They came out perfect! I am not sure why you included storage tips in your blog, these cookies will not last longer than a few hours at best because they are so wonderful you can’t stop eating them. I will definitely use this recipe again. I think I will sprinkle with turbinado sugar before baking my next batch. Thanks for putting out some really good recipes.
Rosemary says
Hi Rich, thanks so much, so glad you enjoyed them, and yes they never last long in our house either. I love the idea of blueberries!
Caitlin says
Do you think this can be made with peaches too?!
Rosemary says
Hi Caitlin, I don’t see why not, although I would probably use ripe firmer peaches rather soft and really juicy. Let me know how it goes.
Diana says

Rosemary says
Hi Diana, thanks so much, so glad you and your family enjoyed them. Have a great week.
Lisa says
Very easy to make. Everyone loved these cookies and I will be making them again and again.
Rosemary says
Hi Lisa, thanks so much, glad everyone enjoyed them. Have a great week.
Kayla says
Perfecto! I used a little less baking powder because my baked goods always have that baking powder taste and it came out perfect!!
Rosemary says
Hi Kayla, thanks so much, glad you like them. Have a great week.
Arushi says
Can I add pineapple instead?
Rosemary says
Hi Arushi, sure that sounds like a good idea. Let me know how it goes.
