My husband took one bite and came running over to me asking for the recipe | March 15, 2025

Don’t you just love it when two beloved favorites come together to create a burst of flavor you didn’t know you needed? That’s the story with strawberry sugar cookies – a delightful twist on the classic sugar cookie that brings summer into your kitchen no matter what the weather is like outside. Picture this: the sweet nostalgia of sugar cookies mingles with the bright, juicy essence of strawberries. These cookies are akin to biting into a sun-ripened berry in a field of flowers or tasting that first strawberry ice cream of the season. Whether you’re looking for a whimsical dessert for your next picnic or just trying to charm the kiddos into loving fruit a tad more, these strawberry sugar cookies are here to brighten your day and your palate.
These cookies are superb on their own, but you can always elevate the experience. Serve them alongside a cold glass of milk, or if you’re feeling indulgent, with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream. They make delightful partners to a cup of afternoon tea or a strawberry lemonade if you really want to double down on the fruity theme.
