Strawberries & Cream No Bake Cookies
Description
Strawberries & Cream No Bake Cookies use quick cooking oats mixed with a unique strawberry powder made by grinding freeze-dried strawberries. The base is made by melting sugar, butter, and milk to a boil, then timed for two minutes before removing from heat. Cream cheese, strawberry oil, strawberry powder, and optional gel food coloring are stirred in, followed by the oats, creating a rich, creamy, and fruity mixture.
The cookies are spooned onto wax paper and left to set at room temperature for an hour and a half to two hours until firm. This process creates a soft and chewy texture with pronounced strawberry flavor combined with the richness of cream cheese.
These cookies offer a no-heat, convenient option to enjoy a sweet, creamy snack or dessert that carries a fresh strawberry taste enhanced by powdered freeze-dried fruit and strawberry oil.
