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
- 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.
Easy Strawberry Cookie Ingredients
- 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!

Can I make today and bake tomorrow?
Hi C, yes just refrigerate the dough. Let me know how it goes. Take care!
I chopped my strawberries and let them sit to release moisture in 2 paper towels which was a great idea. Also chilling the dough a little bit before scooping it out was helpful. As the dough got warmer it became harder to scoop out bc it was moist. These were amazing cookies, my family was obsessed. I’m going to try to do the same thing w blackberries or raspberries next! Thank you!
Hi Sparkly Unicorn Baker, thanks so much, so glad everyone enjoyed them and thank you for sharing your tips. Take care and Happy New Year!
Mine got too soft, soggy after they cooled. The batter seemed loose, maybe more flour and additional baking time? I put them in the oven for an additional 15 minutes and they were better. Everyone loved them once they were baked the additional time.
Hi Mary Ann, yes if the batter seems too wet, then add a bit more flour. Glad everyone liked them though. Take care!
Delicious cookies. I made the cookies with a mix of frozen berries. They turned out great.
Hi Caroline, thanks glad you liked it. Take care!
I added some orange zest and hibiscus water to add some pink color! They are great.
Hi Madeline, thanks glad you like them. Take care!
Mine didn’t turn out like your photos (more cakey) but they are still delicious and it was a great recipe for my toddler. We had fun making them.
Hi Sandie, mine might not look it but there were quite cakey also. Glad you enjoyed them and had fun with baby! Take care.
Wow! These were unique and delicious! I used bottled lime juice instead of lemon, and I really liked the flavor it gave. Just as advertised, these were easy! Use frozen strawberries like I did and it makes the recipe even more economical so a great choice if you are feeding a crowd.
Thanks so much, so glad you liked them. Take care!
Ciao Rosemary and Daughters,
Spero che questa vi trova bene.
Ho fatta questa ricetta con le tue figlie Rosemary.
Sono spiritosi e Simpaticissimi! Li hai insegnati bene. 🙂
I biscotti son venuti meravigliosi.
Li ho portati alcuni con me quando siamo andati a Londra per vedere la famiglia di mio marito.
Ne ho dato una a una persona al aeroporto. Squisiti!
Ho tanti blueberries.
Vorrei provare con loro.
Buona giornata.
Mi e’ piaciuta questa ricetta anche perché i latticini non li posso avere e anche se c’ è burro senza lattosio io preferisco l’ olio.
Un abbraccio.
Graziella
Ciao Grazia, Grazie mille e sono contenta che ti siano piaciuti i biscotti! e anche alla tua famiglia e alla persona all’aeroporto! Sono sicura che anche con i blueberries saranno buonissimi! Anche a me piace cucinare con l’olio, soprattutto i biscotti. Buona giornata e godetevi i biscotti! 🙂
Simply delicious and easy too! They are soft and so pretty. I used sparkling sugar on top.
Hi Kathleen, thanks so much, great idea with the sparkling sugar! Have a wonderful Sunday, take care!
These cookies are wonderful. I have been looking for a fresh strawberry cookie for a long time. I made one batch and they were gone in no time. Of course I made more as strawberries are in season! The next batch will be freezer bound , maybe
Hi Linda, thanks so much, so glad you enjoyed them. Take care and have a great week!
Can I use butter instead of oil?
Hi Judy, sure that would work. I hope you enjoy them. Take care and have a great weekend!
Theese were soo good! I used frozen strawberries, but when I went to roll them they wouldn’t quite stick, but I got them to stay. Theese are super easy to make and are a very good snack for when I get home from school. Also quick to bake for parties
Hi Alice, thanks so much, glad you like them. Take care and have a great weekend!
Delicious and easy to make. I made larger sized and cooked for 24 minutes to a perfect soft, golden brown
Hi CH thanks so much, so glad you enjoyed them. Take care!
These cookies are so good! They are addictive! the only problem is the following day the cookies get soggy . Why ? Am I doing something wrong? I leave it until they are completely dried and I put in in an airtight container, anyway they are wet the next day.
Hi Liz, thanks glad you like them. Try adding a slice of bread to the container, that should help with the moisture. Let me know. Take care!
Hi Rosemary, I just made these cookies and they are excellent!!
My husband will be so happy when he gets home from work lol.
Thank goodness it is just the beginning of strawberry season where I am!
I want to bake these for everyone and every occasion over the next two months.
My house smells so good right now! I did 2 batches and took photos lol.
Can’t wait to try more of your recipes, I am so happy I discovered you.
Hi Lori, thanks so much, so glad you like them. Nothing like strawberry season! I am very glad you found me too! I hope you enjoy other recipes you try. Take care and have a great week.
