I 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 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.
  • Let cool completely.

  • Sugar
  • Vegetable Oil
  • All Purpose Flour
  • Lemon Juice
  • Egg
  • Baking Powder
  • Vanilla
  • and of course Fresh Strawberries

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!

    1. hey can if i use butter as a substitute to vegetable oil, should i use sated or unsalted butter? and how many cookies will this recipe bake for 1x?

    2. 5 stars
      These were delicious and so easy to make. They turned out great and were perfect for my nightly tea with my daughters. I love that they’re not too sweet.

      1. Hi Alice, yes you could chocolate chips, and yes you can freeze them unbaked, freeze them until firm on a baking sheet, then move to a freezer container or bag. Take care!

    3. Would it be possible to use coconut oil instead? I’m not sure how that would work but it’s my preferred oil!

      Lovely sounding recipe.. can’t wait to try it!

      These made a very slick batter with the quantity of oil used; they ended up being much more like circles of cake, and I had to bake them for 40 minutes to get cooked centers. Next time I would reduce the oil by a lot, at least half. I did like the sugar sprinkling on the top; I had never done that and it makes for a nice texture on the top!

      1. Hi Nurg, it is only 1/2 cup of oil, are you sure you added the correct amount? The cookie balls shouldn’t be that large that it should take 40 minutes to bake, and they are a cakey cookie rather than a crunchy one. Hope that helps. Take care. Glad you like them though. 🙂

        1. Yes, it was a half cup of oil! I don’t know, sometimes I follow a recipe exactly and get different results.

          (I joke that I have different water, for example, because any “boil pasta” instructions always end up with me boiling it for twice as long as they say.)

        2. Hi Nurg, oh ok, well another reason could be your flour, some flour absorbs liquid differently. Add less and see what happens as you said. Take care!

      2. this happened with my batch! i added about a extra 1/8 cup of flour just before i made them into balls and it seemed to fix itself
