Strawberry Shortcake Cookies are great for spring and summer dessert, filled with cream and fresh diced strawberries. Irresistible, biscuit-like cookies have all the goodness of shortcake strawberry but in the form of cookies. A compact version of a classic dessert, full of fresh strawberry flavor, is sweet, tender, and soft cookies. These strawberry shortcake cookies taste more like bite-sized strawberry scones – soft and cake-like- cookies, but I loved them and believe they ‘d be great as part of a casual tea party.
As for me, the drawback of this recipe is that they don’t last long. As a strawberry lover, I can attest that this recipe is one of the best strawberry recipes I’ve ever done. Aside from the fact that it is delicious, strawberries are very nutritious. These powerful little packages protect your heart, increase HDL (good cholesterol), lower your blood pressure, and prevent cancer. Strawberries are a low calorie, sodium-free, fat-free, cholesterol-free food filled with vitamins, fiber, and particularly high antioxidants, known as polyphenols. I’m sure your kids and even adults will love this recipe. Try this Strawberry Shortcake Cookies, and let your family enjoy this delicious cookie.
