Strawberry Lemonade Sugar Cookies

I am going to lovingly refer to this recipe as the crunchberry cookie recipe! These look and taste exactly like crunchberries. I followed the recipe exactly and as I always do I baked them on a silicon baking sheet. I had no issues. Good cookies, I'm probably going to dip them in the left over whipped cream that I didn't use in the recipe.

Ummmm, I have no idea what everyone else was doing, but I followed the recipe to the T and got EXCELLENT results. Mine weren't sticky, fluffed up perfectly, and tasted great. I used Duncan Haynes (sp?) strawberry cake mix, 2 regular eggs, sugar free cool whip, and fresh strawberries. I don't understand the flattening like a pancake part and the stickiness... Anyway, they were a hit at my party and the only downside is that they were a little ugly.. but next time I'll just mold them a little better.

Strawberry Lemonade Sugar Cookies

Ingredients

1 cup butter, softened

1½ cups sugar, divided

¾ cup powdered sugar

¾ cup vegetable oil

2 Tablespoons lemon juice

3 Tablespoons lemon zest

2 eggs

½ teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon cream of tarter

1 teaspoon salt

5½ cups flour

STRAWBERRY FROSTING

¾ cup butter, softened

4 cups powdered sugar

⅓ cup sour cream

⅓ cup strawberries, chopped

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a large mixing bowl, cream butter, 1 cup of sugar and the powdered sugar. Add vegetable oil, lemon juice, lemon zest and eggs and mix well.
• In a separate bowl, combine dry ingredients. Add to wet ingredients and mix until well incorporated.
• Roll dough into 1 inch balls and place on cookie sheet.
• On a large plate, spread ¼ c of sugar. Find a smooth bottomed glass and press it into the sugar to coat the bottom of the glass in sugar. Then press the sugar-coated-glass into the cookie dough balls and lightly press down until your dough begins to flatten and the edges around the glass begin to split.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 8 minutes. Cool cookies on a cooling rack and then put them in the fridge until you are ready to frost them.

STRAWBERRY FROSTING

Combine butter, powdered sugar, and sour cream in a medium mixing bowl and beat until smooth. Add strawberries and mix until just blended. Frost cookies when you are ready to serve.
