Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, baking soda, and salt.
- In another bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, mixing until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined.
- Fold the chopped strawberries (and chocolate chips, if using) into the dough.

- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.

Notes
Ensure your butter is at room temperature for easier creaming.
Use fresh strawberries and pat them dry before chopping.
Consider chilling the dough for thicker cookies.
