Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup Unsalted Butter (or coconut oil for dairy-free)
- 1 cup Brown Sugar (or coconut sugar)
- 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar (or sugar alternative)
- 1 Large Egg (or flax egg for vegan)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1/4 cup Molasses (or honey, or agave syrup)
- 1 1/2 cups All-Purpose Flour (or gluten-free flour)
- 2 cups Old-Fashioned Oats (do not substitute with quick oats)
- 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1/2 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt (or sea salt)
- 1/2 cup Freeze-Dried Strawberries
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper.
- Cream together the unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until fluffy and well combined.
- Add the large egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
- Pour in the molasses and mix until the mixture is smooth.
- Whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon (if using), and salt in a separate bowl.
- Incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing just until combined.
- Fold in the old-fashioned oats and freeze-dried strawberries into the dough gently.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until edges are lightly golden.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Allow the cookies to cool completely before icing.
- Prepare the icing using additional freeze-dried strawberries, blending them into a powder and mixing with a bit of water to achieve desired consistency. Drizzle the icing over cooled cookies.
