OK I have heated up my oven again and started doing a bit of baking. I love cookies big soft chewy cookies. Finding delicious and different cookie flavors has been fun and these Strawberry Cheesecake Cookies are certainly a delicious option. I think they are just the essence of summer.
I love taking just about any shortcut I can when it comes to cooking and baking and these Strawberry Cheesecake Cookies are no exception. Starting with a store bought muffin mix and adding a few other ingredients these cookies can be mixed up in a jiff. Muffin mixes can be found in several flavors and varieties and they are inexpensive. I always have some of these muffin mixes in my pantry.
I love a soft chewy cookie and these cookies bake up soft and chewy and stay that way. The chocolaty drizzle on top makes them so pretty and adds a bit of a sweetness to the cookies. They are so pretty even without the drizzle.
I could eat this whole batch of Strawberry Cheesecake Cookies they are just so good. They are perfect for that summer BBQ or picnic. I like them because they dont make a huge batch of cookies but, if you need a lot of cookies you could easily double the recipe. These Strawberry Cheesecake Cookies would be perfect to whip up with your kiddos. It is summer vacation and what better activity to have with your kids that whipping up a batch of soft and chewy Strawberry Cheesecake Cookies. I think I am off to make double chocolate chip cookies using another muffin mix flavor!
