Sugar Cookie Strawberry Shortcake Recipe

Strawberry Shortcake Recipe Game Changer
Our strawberry patch has really taken off this year. Which means I am making all the strawberry treats, and loving every minute of it. Growing up, my family always had sponge cake with strawberries on top, but the sugar cookies are definitely a game changer.
Of course, I take shortcuts when I can so I like to use a rolls of sugar cookie dough, but you can also make your own cookies. I just press out the dough a little thinner than normal, and pop my cookies in the oven, and bake until they are slightly under done.
Then I crumble them up and use them in place of shortcake. My favorite part is the cookies give you a little extra crunch that pairs perfectly with the strawberries and cream topping.

Next, I mash up my strawberries with sugar, making sure to get all the yummy juice out of them. Now for the best part. The topping!
Of course you could top these with a dollop of Cool Whip, and they would be amazing, but I love to make an easy homemade topping to add to the top.
This topping is all you need to take any dessert to the next level. I literally use it on so many of my sweet treats. Fruit Pizza, Fruit Dip, and even my Marshmallow Fluff Recipe.
Best Topping in Town
For the Grand Finale, the topping. I am telling you, this is one of the easiest toppings, and it tastes so amazing. All you need to make it is room temperature cream cheese, powdered sugar, and Cool Whip.
I am sure this quick and easy Sugar Cookie Strawberry Shortcake Recipe will soon be one of your family’s favorites. As always, if you make this recipe snap a picture and tag me on Instagram.
