Vegan Strawberries and Cream Cookies
Hello & Happy Saturday!!
If there is one season I’m all about, it’s strawberry season! Long before my cooking days I don’t feel as though I could discern the difference in flavor with fruit that’s in season versus off season. However, today the difference for me is palpable. Fruit that’s in season looks more vibrant in color, packs more juice and overall flavor.
Many times when fruit is off season it can be bland, not as colorful and typically not even ripe. Needless to say, summer is my favorite season as fruit is a plenty! With being on the verge of summer I’m craving all things strawberries and wanted to explore a strawberry cookie. While you can add fresh fruit to cookies it generally adds too much moisture, and you can easily throw in dried or freeze dried fruit to capture the season.
The other week we did a strawberry cake, so I knew we had to do vegan Strawberries and Cream Cookies!
What’s great about this recipe? Everything! It’s quick, easy, you need is 1 bowl, packs tons of vegan white chocolate, has strong notes of strawberries, requires no flax eggs or beating of butter, perfect for summer, and perfect for all those obsessed with everything strawberry!

How many cookies does this make?
I would say 8-12 depending on size! I made mine larger to capture better images.
Can you use regular butter and milk if you aren’t doing vegan?
Yes!

Hi Jan, Unfortunately I don’t have metric conversions for the ingredients. However, you may be able to input them into a program online.
