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.
Be sure to watch the Video.
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
- In a large bowl whisk together the egg, juice, oil, vanilla and sugar, until well combined.
- Add flour and baking powder and mix until combined.
- Gently fold in the chopped strawberries just until combined.
- Either form into balls or drop by spoonfuls (approximately the size of a golf ball.
- Place on cookie sheets, sprinkle with a little sugar and bake for approximately 15 minutes.

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!

Sara says
Delicious! My toddler son loves the Beatles and was singing Strawberry Fields, then asked for strawberry cookies. I found this recipe and made these today – I also added finely chopped pecans. Will definitely make again!
Rosemary says
Hi Sara, your toddler has great taste and glad you enjoyed the cookies. Have a great weekend.
Jennifer says
Hi, what type of sugar do you use for the cookies (1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons sugar)? Granulated sugar or icing sugar?
The sprinkle is using icing sugar?
Rosemary says
Hi Jennifer, yes the sugar is granulated, I only used powdered sugar when the cookies had cooled and just before serving. Hope that helps. I updated the instructions, thanks.
Lisa says
Hi Can I use frozen berries? Thanks
Rosemary says
Hi Lisa, you can, but just be aware that the cookie may be more moist because frozen strawberries contain extra water, so do not let them thaw but toss them with a teaspoon of flour. Hope that helps. Let me know how they turn out.
Ann says
I just made these and they were so good. Everyone loved them, thanks for the recipe.
Rosemary says
Hi Ann thanks so much, so glad everyone loved them. Have a great Sunday.
Monica says
These are great! My 3 year old kept asking for strawberry cookies and I wasn’t really sure what to make and then I found these! We made a second batch with raspberries that were also great, and I’m thinking next time of using peaches. Such a great base recipe for a fruit cookie! Thank you, this made my little girl super happy! 🙂
Rosemary says
Hi Monica, thanks so much and so glad your daughter liked them. And great idea using different fruit. Have a great week.
Farah says
These cookies are awesome and so easy. My 4 year old daughter just made a batch and it turned out perfectly. Thanks for the recipe!
Rosemary says
Hi Farah, thanks so much and I love it that your 4 year old daughter is baking. Have a great weekend.
Sandra says
Having strawberry plants that have been going crazy this year, I made a triple batch. We had a competition pistol match today (USPSA) with 45 shooters. They were the star of the day. Thanks so much for the recipe, it is a keeper. 🙂
Rosemary says
Hi Sandra, thanks so much and so glad to everyone liked them. Have a great Sunday. 🙂
Paola Bagliano says
Can you substitute coconut oil ?
Rosemary says
Hi Paola, apparently you can, although you should melt it then cool it first. Hope that helps. Have a great weekend.
Alyssa says
These cookies look amazing! I’m wondering though, my daughter has Celiacs but would adore these. If I were to sub out Cup4Cup or another GF flour, would I need to make any other adjustments to the recipe?
Rosemary says
Hi Alyssa thanks so much, but unfortunately I have never worked with gluten free flour so I have no idea what the substitutions would be. But you may want to check out this link .https://www.verywellfit.com/tips-for-baking-with-gluten-free-flour-562641 . Hope it helps. 🙂
Melissa says
Tried tonight with GF flour. It was Møllerens brand (I’m in Norway, sorry), the Fin melblanding, and the cookies came out just perfect with a 1:1 ratio. I’ll spare you translating the ingredients in that blend if you’re needing to know exactly what is in it: maize starch (Maisstivelse), rice flour (rismel), and linseed (flax) flour (linfrømel). I hope that helps!
Rosemary says
Hi Melissa, thanks so much, so glad you enjoyed it. And yes that helps so much for the GF flour substitution for anyone that is interested.
Penny Wolf says
These cookies are really good!! Just a snap to mix up and bake and make me think of little strawberry shortcakes.
Thank you so much and I look forward to trying more of your recipes.
Rosemary says
Hi Penny, thanks so much, so glad you enjoyed them. Let me know what other recipes you try. 🙂
Christina says
I always had strawberry plants growing up, but I never had great success with them. I can’t wait to make these cookies, I love that you used fresh strawberries.
Rosemary says
Hi Christina, thanks so much I hope you enjoy them. Let me know.
Jenn says
These tasty strawberry cookies are so fun and perfect for spring! Love them so!
Rosemary says
Hi Jenn, thanks so much. And yes perfect for spring. Have a great weekend.
Dana DeVolk says
Wow, these were so easy and delicious! I drizzled white chocolate over the top, yum!
Rosemary says
Hi Dana, thanks so much, so glad you enjoyed them, and white chocolate is a great idea. Have a great weekend.
Becca says
I just finished making 3 batches of these for work – they turned out amazing! My question is : since they’re made with fresh fruit, do they need to be refrigerated? I’m worried about them sitting out overnight, but I also don’t want them to get soggy!
Rosemary says
Hi Becca, thanks so glad everyone loved them. I left mine out overnight. If your house is overly warm I would probably refrigerate them. Be sure to store them in an airtight container either way. Hope this helps.
