This month's Cookie carnival recipe comes fro Martha Stewart. It's Strawberry Shortcake cookies. The recipe suggests to use fresh strawberries however I didn't have any and used candied strawberries. I really liked these cookies, although they were a bit too sweet. I'll make them again and perhaps I'll try them with fresh strawberries next time..JPG)
STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE COOKIES Makes about 3 dozen.
12 ounces strawberries, hulled and cut into 1/4-inch dice (2 cups)
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
3 ounces (6 tablespoons) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
2/3 cup heavy cream
Sanding sugar, for sprinkling
DIRECTIONS
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Combine strawberries, lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons
granulated sugar. Whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and remaining
7 tablespoons granulated sugar in a large bowl. Cut in the butter with a pastry cutter,
or rub in with your fingers, until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in cream until
dough starts to come together, then stir in strawberry mixture.
2. Using a 1 1/2-inch ice cream scoop or a tablespoon, drop dough onto baking sheets
lined with parchment, spacing evenly apart. Sprinkle with sanding sugar, and bake until
golden brown, 24 to 25 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack, and let cool. Cookies are best
served immediately, but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for
up to 1 day.

stupendi questi cookies, mi hai fatto venire l'acquolina!
short cake cookies look yum yum!! have heard of cake but saw starwberyy short cake cookie for the first time!!
Oh my gosh...that is such a creative idea. I wonder if they are more like a sugar cookie or a shortbread...they look amazing though! I bet if you used fresh berries they wouldn't be as sweet, normally the canned kind are full of sugar...just a thought.
Nice idea with the candied strawberries. I think they look great, I'm glad yours turned out well too :)
They look so delicous.
Nice , i like the idea of using candied strawberries . I bet the taste is sweeter therefor nicer!
Oh I love these cookies!!! I made them for my blog about a month ago and they were perfect. I would say try again with fresh strawberries because I didn't find it overly sweet with the fresh berries.
Your cookies look great. I'm not sure I've ever had candied strawberries. I never would have thought to try that!
Your strawberry shortcake cookies look amazing!!

I have to admit I never heard of a strawberry shortcake cookie before, but this one looks great. I will try baking them with fresh strawberries as well.
Oh! Strawberry shortcake cookies remind me of my childhood. They look absolutely divine!
For all the great reviews on these cookies... I obviously messed up somewhere and will have to try these again.
