Ingredients
Scale
Strawberry Shortcake Cookies
- 2½ cups all-purpose baking mix
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup half and half
- 4 tablespoons salted butter melted
- 1 cup chopped strawberries
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- coarse raw cane sugar (optional)
Glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1–2 tablespoons half and half
Instructions
- Preheat and prep: Start by preheating your oven to 425℉ and lining two cookie sheets with parchment paper. Trust me, this step makes cleanup a breeze and keeps the cookies from sticking.
- Mix the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the baking mix and granulated sugar. This ensures an even distribution of sweetness throughout the cookies.
- Add the wet ingredients: Pour in the half and half and melted butter. Stir gently until a soft dough forms—don’t overmix, or the cookies may turn out dense.
- Fold in the goodies: Carefully fold in the chopped strawberries and white chocolate chips. Be gentle here; overmixing can cause the strawberries to release too much juice, which could make the dough soggy.
- Shape and sprinkle: Scoop out about 1½ tablespoons of dough per cookie and place them on the prepared baking sheets. Leave a bit of space between each one. If you’re feeling fancy, sprinkle the tops with raw cane sugar for that extra crunch.
- Bake to perfection: Pop the cookies into the oven and bake for 8–10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops are lightly golden. Keep an eye on them—they bake quickly!
- Cool down: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
- Glaze away: Whisk together the powdered sugar and half and half, adjusting the consistency to your liking. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cookies using a fork or spoon.
Notes
How to serve and impress
These cookies are beautiful on their own, but if you’re looking to wow guests, here are some ideas:
- Arrange them on a cake stand with a few fresh strawberries scattered around for a charming dessert display.
- Serve alongside a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
