Strawberry Shortcake Cookies are the classic dessert in cookie form!

I am a huge strawberry fan. During my pregnancy with Baby Girl, I was eating at least one of the big packs from Costco each week. I’ve got a problem, I know! I love Strawberry Shortcake, but wanted to try something new, so I dreamed up Strawberry Shortcake Cookies.

These cookies are pretty simple, but they’re delicious! They’re a great treat, and one is plenty filling.

You can start with a box mix for shortbread cookies, or use your favorite recipe. For these ones, I used a Betty Crocker mix, since I had some mixes laying around that I got suckered into buying from a Costco sample (tell me I’m not the only one who gets sold on these things due to the samples).

Cut the cookies using a round cookie cutter or the bottom of a glass, and bake them like normal. Let them cool, and then top half of them with whipped cream and sliced strawberries, and put another cookie on top to make a Strawberry Shortcake Cookie Sandwich!

I’m including two recipes- the first is for Quick Strawberry Shortcake Cookies, and the second is Strawberry Shortcake Cookies from scratch.
