Strawberry Poptart Cookies
If you love a fun twist on a classic treat, these Strawberry Poptart Cookies are going to be your new favorite treat. They start with soft sugar cookie dough and get loaded with pieces of strawberry pop-tarts for that sweet, nostalgic flavor. The edges bake up golden brown while the centers stay soft and full of that fruity tart flavor. They’re colorful, a little playful, and perfect for sharing with your best friend or bringing to any get-together. Once you try these, you’ll see why they’re such a hit.
Press a few extra pieces of strawberry pop-tart into the top of the cookie dough balls before baking.
They have that same sweet strawberry jam flavor with a soft cookie base instead of a pastry crust.
– Swap strawberry pop-tarts for other flavors like brown sugar or blueberry
– Use half-and-half instead of heavy cream if needed
– Try cream cheese frosting on top for a richer finish
– Add white chocolate chips for extra sweetness
