Strawberry Cream Cheese Cookie Cups
[adsenseyu2]
So with Valentine’s Day right around the corner I wanted to share with you guys these adorable Strawberry Cream Cheese Cookie Cups!
They are so cute, easy for kids to help make and they love to eat them, because they are delicious!! I saw this recipe on Betty Crocker and had to make them.
This recipe starts with a premade sugar cookie dough so it makes this recipe a quick one and with little ones running around any shortcuts in the kitchen are appreciated! The filling is just strawberry cream cheese and powdered sugar blended. You can use your favorite flavor cream cheese but for Valentine’s Day what is better than strawberries?
So if you have a few minutes hop in the kitchen and whip up these super cute little cookie cups for your sweethearts this Valentine’s Day!
