Doesn't the dough look like strawberry sorbet? :)
Head on over to Love Veggies and Yoga to get the very easy to make recipe. All you need is strawberry cake mix, butter, egg and vanilla! She made a cream cheese frosting which I'm not a fan of so I took an easier way out and bought whipped topping from Trader Joe's and topped the cookies with sprinkles or made them "whoopie pie" style and sandwiched the whipped topping in between. These are DELICIOUS and are so easy to make. Everyone who I gave them to loved them, especially my husband!
My tips on the recipe...
- Definitely take the time to let the dough chill in the refrigerator/freezer. They really do spread a lot but they stay thicker if you chill the dough.
- Make sure that they are cooked through by checking the bottoms of the cookies are browned. She mentioned that they will be a little loose and jiggly but after you take them out they will cook more on their own. This usually happens when I make cookies but not for these ones. I had quite a few undercooked cookies so I ended up cooking mine for about 12-14 minutes as opposed to her 8-10 minutes.
- You don't need the cookie scoop like I used but I like to use it so I could get about the same size/shape for the "whoopie pie" style ones.
really nice pics

these don't just sound amazing, they a look amazing! love the raw dough shots as well--youre right about about them looking like scoops of sorbet!
ReplyDeleteThis recipe looks so cool~ Definitely looks like ice cream! Is the biscuit soft or hard?

They are kinda crunchy on the outside but nice and soft on the inside, my favorite for cookies! :)
DeleteOooh, yum! I saw a pin on pinterest for strawberry cake mix cookies awhile ago but it used shortening (I prefer butter, lol), so I'll have to check out Averie's blog! :) and the whipped topping sounds SO MUCH better than cream cheese frosting! I'll definitely try these out soon!!
ReplyDeleteHomemade sandwich cookies! yum!

isn't that a west elm plate that clearly states not for food use. i think it contains cancerous lead materials in the shiny silver part.
ReplyDeleteHi Shel! Do you think you could send me a link to where it states that? When I bought these they were called "dessert plates" or something like that which I think would be odd that they would sell dessert plates and you could not eat from. As far as I know, there was no warning like that when I bought them.
Deleteim not sure i can't seem to find anything on the site or google but i remember shopping in there and under some plate it stated that on a sticker. not all so if that was a dessert plate then it should be ok. i have ones with silver too in a different design and its ok for eating i read the sticker. the ones that are cancerous are only for the bath like for soap or jewelry
DeleteYour food pictures always look so GOOD! I'm just curious how do you photograph food without the 'natural light'? I was told that we should take pictures of food in natural light. Thanks!
ReplyDeletexo Jo
Thanks Jo! I used natural light for the cookies as the window is off to the right off the photo but for the cookie sheet one, I actually took that one under a lamp that we have that uses a "daylight" kind of bulb so it's bit whiter. Shoot at a higher iso and you'll be able to get a better photo in non-natural light too.
DeleteThanks for the tips, Tiffany!
Deletetiffany, so excited to see what you've been up to. :)
ReplyDeletei love these cookies! so pretty. :)

ReplyDeletep.s. i love using my cookie scoop -- perfect for keeping cookies the same size. :)

Wow, not only do they look delicious but also very cute! Is it wrong that I've told my friends that I want to do a gift registry with a KitchenAid Mixer? Is it even worse that I'm not celebrating anything?

OMG I need those in my life NOW!!! GORGEOUS!
ReplyDeleteThanks for blogging about these and linking back to my site. I REALLY appreciate that :)
ReplyDeleteAnd your cookies look awesome!! Love your TJ's trick with the whipped topping frosting. Perfect...and look at how cute the little whoopie pies are. I think the reason yours took longer to cook is because I can tell from the size, yours are much bigger than mine were. Mine were pretty small whereas yours are medium-ish, but 10 minute variance is huge on something like cookies...I could talk oven temps and cookies all day :)
Of course and thanks for the great recipe! oooh, that definitely makes sense. I didn't even think about my cookies being bigger than yours. :) I might make smaller cookies next time, I think I would like them even bite sized!
DeleteThese are SO cute !!!
