We love strawberry season!
Here's a recipe for Strawberry Shortcake Cookies from last year's summer camp. The kids (and teachers) devoured these soft cookies.
The combination of cream cheese, fresh strawberries, and white chocolate morsels truly makes this cookie taste like a strawberry shortcake.
If time permits, make sure to let the strawberries dry on paper towels before adding them to the cookie dough. Fresh strawberries have lots of water, and this can help prevent the cookie dough from being too wet.
