Directions

- 2In a separate bowl whisk together, butter, egg and vanilla extract. Add the honey, stir and gently fold in the flour mixture just until incorporated. Toss in the chopped strawberries, fold in and chill the mix for at least an hour.
- 3Preheat oven to 325 degree F, and line a baking tray with parchment.
- 4With a tablespoon, Scoop out 15 -20 rounded scoops onto the parchment. Ensure the mounds are as tall as they are wide,and there is an inch gap between the cookies. Bake for 18-20 mins.Cool for 10 mins before turning out onto wire rack.
- Tips:
- 1Measurements of Oats and flour should be accurate.
- 2I used dry and candied strawberries. If you are using fresh or frozen strawberries then the cookie dough may be chilled for 15-30 mins less. Remember that the fresh or frozen strawberries have moisture and release juices while they bake , because of which they spread out into thin cookies,so make sure that about an inch spacing between the cookies is maintained.
