Earlier this week we talked about how roasted strawberries are the best thing ever. A lot of you guys dashed into the kitchen to make them as soon as you read my recipe for Citrus Roasted Strawberry Parfaits. You learned that by roasting strawberries they become even sweeter and the depth of flavor is amazing.
Now that we know how good this is, let’s make cookies! As always I’ll urge you to try these for breakfast. They are all natural, great for you ~ sugar free, grain free, gluten free. Best kinda breakfast, snack or dessert ever!!
Speaking of breakfast my favorite meal of the day, I have a guest post on Rosa’s Yummy Yums blog that you need to check out with new photos and my favorite breakfasts!
 
These cookies are so simple to bake. Start with some juicy fresh strawberries…like these:
Roast the  heck out of those strawberries in a 375 degree oven for 30 minutes. You can stop right there and make parfaits, lick this fruity bliss off a spoon. Or make cookies…
Be sure to fill those cookies with lots of freshly whipped cream. You can do regular whipped cream or go for a vegan version made with coconut milk. If you are on the Paleo Diet you would want to that.
I am so in love with the idea of cookie sandwiches. Two of our favorites are Strawberry Whoopie Pies and Sunflower Seed Butter Oatmeal Sandwich Cookies.
The roasted strawberries can be anything you want them to be. In these sandwich cookies they become jam!
This recipe is like a little taste of spring bursting in your mouth…
It is OK if you don’t add the creamy jam filling, but really how could you resist?!
What is your favorite sandwich cookie? Have you ever had strawberry cookies?

Obsessed! These look so yummy!

These roasted strawberries would be perfect in a peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. I just got some amazingly fresh strawberries from my CSA and this looks like a wonderful way to use them.
Wonderful recipe. I need to roast some strawberries this weekend!!

Wow! It’s so cool to use roasted strawberry to make cookies. Not only please my visual but also my palate. Yum!!
Organic fresh strawberries are not in season here yet but I have a ton I picked from last summer in the freezer. I don’t suppose frozen strawberries will work, huh? I so want to make this recipe! Maybe I will try it anyway, worst case is they go into a smoothie. Thanks for amazing pictures!
Marla, these sound fabulous. I love how you’ve put a twist on the classic combo of strawberries and almonds and how adorable those cookies are!
Oh my word! Guess what we’re having for breakfast tomorrow!
What a great idea! Love it 🙂
Marla, you’re killing me here. These look…divine. I’m literally salivating.
Oh good Amanda ~ that was the goal 🙂
Delish! Roasted “anything” brings out so much depth and yummyness 🙂
Kiran, it really does. I will be roasting everything from now on 😉
Wow!!! Roasted strawberries in a sandwich cookies…definitely swoon worthy!
You had me at roasted strawberries! It works for veggies, so it makes sense that it work for strawberries! STUNNING photos~love the sunshine!
Sue, roasting veggies is my favorite way to prepare them. You are correct ~ doing that with the strawberries makes them that much sweeter & fuller of flavor. A total win!
How do you manage to make everything looks so beautiful?? LOVE the colors here 🙂
That is one of my favorite parts of my job…. Love to style food and make it look all pretty for the camera 🙂 Thanks for your sweet comment!
How festive and fun just in time for spring! Your technique for roasting strawberries sounds like it would add so much flavor! Very nice presentation!
Those are SO pretty. What a wonderful thing to wake up to!
Okay, these immediately put a smile on my face, Marla. I love the roasted strawberries (yum) and the beautiful presentation!
Oh these look spectacular! I love your floral mug too, it’s so pretty. I can’t wait until it’s strawberry picking season here! I’ll have to make these. [:
That it’s healthy enough to indulge for breakfast totally wins my heart!!
Jen, let ’em win and take one your heart. They are swoon worth 😉
This is such a beautiful recipe that I can’t wait to try. I know my kid will love it. Your pictures are always stunning and beautiful. I really enjoy them. 🙂
Can I substitute white whole wheat for the flours, and reg. or brown sugar for the stevia? Regular milk for coconut milk?
Hi Sharee, not sure at all how so many significant changes would effect the outcome of this recipe. If you have success let me know 🙂
ROASTED strawberry cookies?!? Oh, Marla. Those are *dreamy.*
Just wondering if you can replace the almond flour with oat flour to make it nut free?
Hi! Not sure how that would work out as I have not tested it like that. If you try let us know 🙂
