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!

      They were so easy to make and incredibly delicious! The cookies had a soft scone-like texture, which I love. I did make a couple substitutions due to lack of ingredients—coconut oil instead of vegetable oil and juice from oranges rather than lemon juice. I decreased the sugar a bit because the oranges were sweet. Thank you for this recipe during these crazy times!

    2. This looks so simple to make. I can’t wait to try it. Except, instead of sugar sprinkled over the top, why not try White Chocolate Frosting.

      Great recipe! The cookies were so freaking delish! my parents loved them! the outside was perfectly firm and on the inside they were so soft and heavenly! Highly recommend! you dont need too much ingridients and you get the job done in less than an hour and a half!!

      These cookies are really good. Not too sweet and love being able to use fresh strawberries in a cookie. Used coconut oil and a little less sugar. Sprinkled red sugar on top. Yummy!

    5. 5 stars
      Delicious, especially with our home grown strawberries. I substituted oil for butter though. I imagine they will taste even better with cream and marinated strawberries for dessert.

    6. 5 stars
      So delicious and easy to make! I had a bunch of strawberries that were lying in the fridge so decided to make some cookies. This recipe was a total hit with my colleagues when I took the batch to the office the next day. They were gone within the hour!

      Thanks!

      Delicious! Used frozen berries picked this summer. Added an extra tablespoon of flour to account for the extra moisture of the frozen berries. They turned out perfectly!

      This is a really good recipe. I substituted fresh strawberries for strawberry pulp syrup and had to add a little more flour but it turned out to be delicious.

      My children really liked the strawberry cookies..they were light and fluffy excellent with tea! This reminds me of a ladies tea you would have them at or a wedding shower. It was fun to make something other than chocolate chip or oatmeal or peanut butter….Will make again and maybe with different fruit.

      1. Hi Lesley thanks so much. Someone mentioned peaches, maybe even pears or other berries. Have a great weekend.

    10. I have to comment again. These cookies really are so good. I think that chopped peaches could work in this recipe too. Thank you once more and I will continue making strawberry cookies.

    11. My mom made these and I absolutely loved them. I tried doubling the recipe, and they aren’t as pillowy and airy as the ones my mom made. Is there anything I can do to save the rest of the batter?

      1. Hi Danielle it could be that you over mixed the dough, so there really isn’t a fix for that. Maybe try refrigerating the dough for about 20 minutes and then baking. Let me know.
