White Chocolate, Strawberry, and Oatmeal Cookies

Cooking Light. May 2007. It will seem like not enough butter when you are making them, but it really is the right amount! I made these with home-dried strawberries and milk chocolate chips. YUM!

• Ready In: 22 mins
• Yields: 2 dozen

Ingredients

• 3⁄4 cup all-purpose flour (about 3 1/3 ounces)
• 1  cup oats

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350°.
2. Lightly spoon flour into a measuring cup; level with a knife. Combine flour, oats, baking soda, and salt; stir with a whisk.
3. Place sugar and butter in the bowl of a stand mixer; beat at medium speed until well blended (about 3 minutes).
4. Add vanilla and egg; beat well. Gradually add flour mixture, beating until blended. Add strawberries and chips; beat at low speed just until blended.
