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.
