Strawberry Shortcake Cookie Cups Recipe
Every memorial day my family gets together for a picnic. We tend to have typical picnic/BBQ food like hamburgers, hot dogs, potato salad, and pasta salad.
I'm usually in charge of dessert. After a large meal we like something light that my grandma would say "just slides down".
Last year, we really enjoyed the Patriotic Poke Cake because it was light and fruity.
I wanted to stick with something along those lines. Take a look at these Strawberry Shortcake Cookie Cups!

Great idea! I want to make this for my women's bible study, but I need to know how many cookie cups this recipe makes. What is the yield? I don't see it on the recipe.
Thanks Deborah!
I'm very sorry but it was so long ago I honestly don't remember. I don't want to guess and tell you the wrong thing.
If one follows this recipe as presented there is no instruction for using the 'set aside" flour mixture. Not good instructions.
Thanks for pointing this out James, I'll update the instructions right now! 🙂
This looks delicious! I just started a linkup for garden harvest recipes called Eating Inside the Box! It would be awesome if you would share this with us! Please add any other recipes to any fruit/veggie category you'd like! Enjoy the harvest!
