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.
How to store the strawberry cookies
Store the completely cooled cookies in an airtight container or bag, they will keep for up to 3 days at room temperature or up to a week in the fridge.
How to freeze the cookies
Freeze the completely cooled cookies on a cookie sheet for about 1-2 hours until firm then place in a freezer safe container or bag. They will keep for up to 3 months in the freezer. Thaw the cookies at room temperature.
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!

Katie Lacroix says
I have made these several times and they are delicious!! Can you use frozen strawberries or even mix with half strawberries, half blueberries. I have fresh berries that are frozen I want to use up.
Rosemary says
Hi Katie, thanks so much, glad you like the cookies. And yes you can use frozen, don’t thaw them before you add them though and yes half and half I bet would be really good. Take care!

Jennifer kamholz says
Love the recipe. Should they be stored in the refrigerator?
Rosemary says
Hi Jennifer, they can stay out overnight if your house isn’t too warm, but I usually place them in an airtight container and refrigerate. They will keep for up to 7 days in the fridge. Thanks glad you like the recipe. Take care and have a great weekend!
Natalie says
Very easy to make. I replaced the white sugar with light brown sugar and used melted butter instead of oil. I drizzled them with melted chocolate. I also made them far too large as I was tired, forgot what I was doing and as I had considered making a half batch I divided the mixture into 9 instead of 18! Mine didn’t turn out much like cookies, more like wide, flat scones. Very light and fluffy inside, almost like cake and crumbly outside. They were delicious and an excellent way to use up the slightly past it strawberries that I found fogotten about at the back of the fridge.
Rosemary says
Hi Natalie, thanks so much, great idea with the sugar and butter. I like the idea of scones! Take care.
Sue K says
When I read the name of the cookies I figred they were going to use freeze-dried strawberries so when I saw that they were using fresh. Had to try them. I give them an A-plus. Good texture and flavor however the cookie batter was not stiff enough to make balls so I just put them direstly on the pan by large teaspoonful.
Rosemary says
Hi Sue, thanks so much, so glad you enjoyed them. Take care, have a great weekend.
Bertha says
I used a little less white sugar.. added brown sugar, butter instead of oil, and chocolate chips.. so delicious!! Thank you for this easy recipe.
Rosemary says
Hi Bertha, thanks so much, so glad you like the cookies. Take care.
Alex says
May I ask, how much butter did you use? t

Rosemary says
Hi Alex, 1/2 cup of butter then melt and let cool. 🙂
