Strawberries and Cream Cookies

A plethora of strawberries found its way into my fridge, and they needed to be used quickly.  I thought about making jam, but strawberry jam didn’t seem too exciting.  I could make more strawberry frosting and freeze it, but I wanted to try something new.  These cookies are from this month’s Martha Stewart Living.  I found this recipe on a blog I hadn’t read before, SliceofSueShe.

The method used to make these cookies creates a light fluffy cookie that is not too sweet.  The resulting texture reminded me of a soft scone.  The strawberry pieces are tart and sweet.  I did not sprinkle them with sugar, but I imagine that adds a nice crunch on top of these soft cookies.  A simple drizzle of a vanilla glaze would also be nice.
