I tend to use that term “shortcake’ pretty liberally.

I looked it up and decided that I was gonna stretch the meaning as far as you would let me.

This sweet little treat was completely inspired by my Red Velvet Strawberry Shortcake. ย Another of my “looselyย adapted” shortcakes.

Only this time, I used sugar cookies. ย Then I couldn’t find an easy recipe for Red Velvet Sugar Cookies so I made one up.

And they were awesome. ย (sharing that with you soon!)

I used my favorite sugar cookie recipe.

Then grabbed some fresh strawberries and some whipped cream. ย If you are a die hard strawberry lover you can even add some strawberry extract to your whipped cream!

Place a cookie on your plate. ย Now aย dollopย of whipped cream. ย Some strawberries. ย And repeat.

 

I cut up my strawberries pretty small as I found it easier to eat that way. ย Its all about easy eating here folks. ย I am on a mission to get the food in your mouth in the best way possible.

I also made a few without the red velvet cookie just to be sure they would still taste good. ย This type of food quality testing is very important.

Rest assured, I will do the tough jobs for you.

 

 

Red Velvet Sugar Cookies post coming soon. ย I justย couldn’tย wait to share this dessert with you. ย I know its going on my list for possible Mothers Day treats!
