Chewy, delicious oatmeal cookies have a surprising addition – fresh strawberries! These strawberry oatmeal cookies are sure to become a new favorite.
You love oatmeal cookies, and you also love strawberry shortcake. What’s the best way to enjoy those two flavors? Strawberry oatmeal cookies, of course!
These cookies are tender, chewy, sweet, and have the delicious summer flavor of strawberries inside. They are bursting with fresh berry goodness. Plus, the strawberries add a beautiful pop of color!
You may associate berries + oatmeal with muffins, but you’ll be surprised at how well berries work in cookies. The fresher and sweeter the strawberries, the better (obviously) but that shouldn’t be a problem because we are right in the middle of strawberry season.
You don’t want to overbake these strawberry oatmeal cookies – they need to be nice and chewy. Bake them just until golden brown and they’ll be perfect!

- chewy and flavorful
- the perfect summer cookie recipe
- gluten free, vegan, and top 8 allergen free

I always go with something chocolate when making cookies..but this looks delicious..does assing strawberries make it breakfast approved perhaps? ;)
These look great! Can the vegan butter be substituted for coconut oil? :)

Chewy cookies are the only cookies ;) So yea, any chewy cookie is a favorite of mine!
And omg! I just used Bob’s 1 to 1 for the first time over the weekend and it produced spectacular results! I love their all-purpose, but now the 1 to 1 is going to be another “all purpose” go to for me!
I love adding basil to browned butter chocolate chip cookies!
My all-time favorite cookie is chocolate chip… does that make me basic?
This is awesome! I totally feel the same way, I always turn to a muffin or bread like form but cookies in this fashion are amazing! I will be definitely making these- maybe with raspberries too! Thanks for sharing.
I am an oatmeal chocolate chip cookie fan!
I’ve always been a fan of the standard chocolate chip cookie with dark chocolate chips and waluts.
such a great idea to add fresh strawberries…I have never thought of that!!
Thank you for the giveaway. My favorite cookies are raisin oatmeal.
Oatmeal cookies are the best! Chewy and soft and sweet is where its all at. Love this use of strawberries! Summer fruits and cookies need to be combined more often!
I’ve made these a bunch of times, but today i didn’t have strawberries so i subbed chocolate chips. These were by far the best gluten free chocolate chip cookie i have ever had. Thanks for another great recipe.
Yay! Thanks for letting me know, Mindi! I appreciate it.
