Cream Cheese Strawberry Cookies
A light and airy cooking spiced up by fresh Strawberries and white chocolate chips.
We had a dinner planned with several of our good friends last night and wanted to bring a yummy snack to share to the evening. We came across this recipe and was just enamored by the pictures of it. We also had just gone to the farmer’s market and had just bought a load of fresh local strawberries. I really enjoyed these cookies, as they were light and fresh tasting, and the flavor was reminiscent of shortbread.

A plateful of happiness.
