It’s strawberry season here in New Zealand! Yippieh! 🙂 I’ve been thinking of this cookie recipe for quite some time, but I couldn’t decide on what to use in the dough.
Time to try cashews again. They worked very well in this fruit cake recipe already 🙂
The smell of the baking strawberries is divine. And combined with the vanilla flavour, it is utterly delicious!
As always, this recipe for strawberry vanilla cookies is vegan, gluten-free and without refined sugar.

- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence or vanilla paste or freshly scraped vanilla pod
- 1-2 handful fresh strawberries finely diced
Instructions
