Strawberry Shortcake Cookies
Florida Strawberry season is here, and I love all of the strawberries! They are one of my favorite foods, and it shows in my kitchen right now. I am always looking for new ways to celebrate my love of all things Strawberry. I found this Strawberry Shortcake Cookie Recipe, and I knew I had to try it!
First things first, dice the strawberries and squeeze some lemon juice over them. Let them sit while you make the rest of the cookie dough. Aren’t they pretty?
Make the cookie dough in your mixer and carefully fold in the strawberries by hand. This dough is dense and buttery. YUM.
Drop the cookies by rounded tablespoon fulls onto a parchment lined baking sheet and sprinkled with some thick crystal sugar. Of course, a cookie scoop is the easiest way to do this. If you don’t own one…you should! They are the best!
Bake for about 13 minutes. Aren’t they beautiful? The lemon juice over the strawberries helps them keep their bright red color!
These would be amazing in a gift basket for Valentines. Or just because! Enjoy these yummy Strawberry Shortcake Cookies!
