These Strawberry Shortcake Cookie Cups are easy enough for kids to make yet also perfect party fare. Great when you want to serve dessert, but don't have a lot of time and want something relatively light.
Semi-homemade Strawberry Cookie Cups, are a great way to serve a wonderful dessert in a pinch. Fresh strawberries and whipped cream bring simple sugar cookie dough up to the next level. In this recipe, store bought cookie dough was used, but by all means, making your own dough would be even better... just more time consuming and this particular recipe is about convenience as well as taste.
Making Strawberry Shortcake Cookie Cups
Making Strawberry Shortcake Cookie Cups is easy, let me show you how. Full recipe below.
The cookie cups are made by pressing refrigerated cookie dough into a mini mini tin.
If you want even more strawberry flavor use the dough for Strawberry Cake Mix Cookies instead.
After baking and cooling the cookie cups are filled with strawberries and whipped cream then topped with strawberry puree.
So now you are all ready for strawberry season with an easy bite size strawberry shortcake dessert that the family will love, and won't eat up a big chunk of your time.
