This is my first time participating in the cookie carnival challenge hosted by Kate at the clean plate club. Check out who else has participated this month on June 1st or join next months cookie carnival. The recipe for the month of June was Strawberry Shortcake Cookies by Martha Stewart. The recipe can be found on Martha's website. This recipe came along just in time for a different twist on all those strawberries that are in the markets this time of the year.
The cookies came together in a snap!
Strawberry Shortcake cookies are ready to eat with a nice cold glass of milk!
These cookies have a soft texture just like a shortcake. They pack a delicious strawberry flavor with just the right amount of sugar with the added sprinkles on top. The recipe states that the cookies are best served immediately. We tasted some the next day and they were just as delicious. I would definitely make them again to bring to a picnic, with a tall glass of lemonade, or to a potluck. They would be a nice addition to a tea or a baby shower.
I packaged them in the strawberry containers tied with raffia as gifts.
Mangia!

ReplyDeleteI read back to some of your older posts and I may just have to try the Blue Rooster Cafe. I am prob 30 to 40 min (depending on ATL traffic) from there. :)
Thanks for the info on the Botanical Gardens. I don't bank with Bank of Amer but last year there were some good coupons so I need to check out there site this summer! I had forgotten all about it.
YUM!!!
ReplyDeleteThese look so good!! I love strawberries any way I can get them. So, for the cookie club, everyone makes the same recipe?? It sounds like fun. Are the directions at the blog of the hostess? I think it would be fun to join (might get me baking more!).
