Easy Strawberry Cookies
Easy Strawberry Cookies made with Fresh Strawberries and baked in 15 minutes. One bowl, no beaters necessary, soft, delicious cookies. The perfect summertime cookie recipe. Sprinkle a little powdered sugar or drizzle with melted chocolate and make them extra special.
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
Gently fold in the chopped strawberries just until combined, do not over mix. Either form into balls or drop by spoonfuls on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle with a little sugar and bake until lightly golden. Cool and serve!
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!

These cookies are amazing. I also threw in some White chocolate callets in the batter. Flavour wise is brilliant but the cookie is too soft – is it supposed to be that way considering we are using fresh strawberries that releases a lot of moisture? Is there any way we can get a slightly more crispier version of this? I honestly loved the flavour – don’t want to change anything about that but the texture needs to be better. Please suggest
Hi Barsha, glad you liked them, and yes they are supposed to be a soft cake like cookie, you could try adding a bit more flour, try using dried strawberries instead, or flatten them out a bit before you bake them. Take care.
good
Can I use frozen strawberries?
