Strawberry Oatmeal Cookies

INGREDIENTS

2 cups finely chopped fresh strawberries
1/2 cup white sugar, divided
1 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
1 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 egg
1/4 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla extract

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).

Combine the strawberries with 1/4 cup white sugar in a medium bowl. Toss gently to blend, and set aside.

Combine the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and rolled oats in a large bowl, blend well and set aside.

With an electric mixer, beat the butter, brown sugar, and remaining white sugar at medium speed until fluffy. Add the egg, milk, and vanilla, and continue beating until smooth. Gradually stir in the flour mixture. When batter is well blended, hand stir in the strawberries.

Drop by teaspoonfuls onto ungreased baking sheets and bake in preheated oven until slightly brown, about 8 minutes. Cool on baking sheets.
