Strawberry Shortcake Cookies with Vanilla Glaze

I love that these strawberry shortcake cookies with vanilla glaze have all the flavors of strawberry shortcake in one handy cookie. The texture reminds me a little bit of a crisp muffin top and I love that. These cookies were a fun recipe to make and they taste so amazing! The batter used Greek yogurt instead of eggs and milk which I loved and made me feel like they were a little healthier. The cookies were a big hit with my kids (and their friends) and will make delicious school lunch treats for this week. I tried one last night and fell instantly in love! They are wonderful.

How to Make Strawberry Shortcake Cookies with Vanilla Glaze

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Place strawberries, lemon juice, 2 tablespoons flour, and 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar into a small mixing bowl; toss together until evenly coated. Set aside to allow flavors to mingle.

Combine together the 2 cups of flour, 1 cup of sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Cut in the butter until a fine and grainy texture forms.

Add the Greek yogurt and vanilla then mix until just combined – add an additional tablespoon or two of Greek yogurt if the batter is too dry. Fold in the strawberry mixture and lemon zest then mix until combined.

Spoon 2 tablespoons of dough at a time, about 1 inch apart, and place on the prepared baking sheet.

Bake for 15-18 minutes or until the cookies just started to brown on top. Remove from the oven to cool for a few minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Make the glaze by placing the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla into a small bowl; mix well until creamy and smooth. Once the cookies have completely cooled, drizzle glaze over them, and serve. Enjoy!
