Well, my fridge is well stocked with this amazing fruit. I love to binge on strawberries when they appear on the market. I know you’ll all agree with me on this one – Strawberries are the best!
And while I was in the car the other day, waiting to pick up my kids from school, the scent of fresh strawberries I had just bought, spread throughout the car and inspired me to make some kind of delightful strawberry dessert for my family that afternoon. And then it hit me. I hadn’t made my old family favorite, Strawberry Oatmeal Cookies for a while.

When we returned home, I got down to business and I baked up a batch of these Strawberry Oatmeal Cookies and as you can probably guess, everyone loved them. They soon disappeared, and everybody agreed that they were the best cookies ever.
