Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Dough

Begin by creaming together the softened butter and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. Add one egg to the mixture and beat well until fully combined.

In a separate bowl, combine all the dried ingredients including the flour, oats, rice flour or cornstarch, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Mix them until they are well blended.

Step 2

Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into your wet mixture. Mix until just combined to ensure the dough remains tender.

Next, wash and dry the strawberries. Chop them into small pieces and gently fold them into the dough, ensuring they are distributed evenly without breaking them apart too much.

Step 3

Prepare for Baking

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). While the oven is heating, line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Using a spoon, scoop out dough portions and shape them into small rounds or discs. Place them onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving enough space between each cookie.

Step 4

Add Toppings and Bake

If desired, sprinkle the cookie tops with sliced almonds, a little granulated sugar, and cinnamon for an extra touch of flavor.

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Keep an eye on them to avoid overbaking.

Step 5

Cooling and Serving

Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Enjoy your delicious strawberry oatmeal cookies with a warm cup of coffee or tea. They are best enjoyed fresh or stored in the fridge in warm weather!

Servings

These Strawberry Oatmeal Cookies are superbly versatile! Enjoy them fresh out of the oven with a cup of steaming coffee or fragrant tea.

For a fun twist, serve them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for dessert; the warm cookie and cold ice cream create a delightful contrast!

If you’re hosting a gathering, stack them in a cute jar on the table or wrap them individually as favors for guests to take home. Don't forget to place a few strawberries around for a pop of color and freshness! 🍓

Faq

How can I make my cookies chewier?
Add an extra tablespoon of brown sugar and ensure not to overbake them. The key is to remove them from the oven while they are still slightly soft in the center.
Can I use frozen strawberries?
Absolutely! Just ensure to thaw and drain any excess moisture before adding them to your cookie dough.
How do I prevent my cookies from spreading too much?
Chill your cookie dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This little step can work wonders in keeping them puffy!
Can I add other mix-ins?
Definitely! Chocolate chips, nuts, or even dried fruits can be great additions to enhance the flavor and texture of your cookies.
What do I do if my cookies are too tough?
If your cookies are too tough, it's likely due to overmixing or overbaking. Try to mix until just combined and keep an eye on them towards the end of baking.
Can these cookies be frozen?
Yes! You can freeze the baked cookies in an airtight container for up to three months. Just thaw them at room temperature when you're ready to enjoy!
