But it’s almost here.

In a month. However, it’s never to start thinking about pink food.  Plus, spring is right around the corner.

Right after that four feet of snow, for many of you, melts. I made these cookies on Skylar’s first day of school at her new school.

I was such a wreck that day and didn’t know what to do with myself so I started baking and pink food. If strawberry cookies with a thick layer of vanilla cream cheese frosting and red sanding sugar sprinkles don’t put a smile on your face, I’m convinced that nothing will.

These cookies and baking project helped to take my mind off the fact that my “baby” was at big girl school. She asked me on the car ride home, “Mommy, what did you do today?”

When I told her I made pink cookies with sprinkles her eyes got as big as saucers and the smile on her face was enormous. For my little princess, who’s favorite color is pink, these were a huge hit with her and a perfect treat after her first day at the new school.

The little cookies are moist and light and have the best strawberry flavor, which is balanced with the heavier, richer, and tangier cream cheese frosting.

And they are so soft, and so very, very moist. Practically falling apart moist which is the only way I like baked goods.

I hope you try the strawberries cookies, which are so easy, and only use four ingredients. I am all about taking a shortcut here or there and using a boxed mix if it’s going to give me great results.

Pillsbury already has the strawberry cake mix thing all figured out and I don’t need to reinvent the wheel. I’d rather spend my time eating one of these.

Angelfood Cake with Berries and Cream is another favorite play on berry + creamy flavors that I enjoy. Tried this recipe? Leave a review! Consider leaving a 5 star rating if you’ve made and loved one of my recipes!
