Strawberry Crumble.
We went berry picking a couple of weekends ago, and the strawberries we brought back were absolutely the sweetest, ripest, juiciest berries I've ever eaten! I froze a bunch for smoothies, made this, my favorite jam, and strawberry shortcake. And we will probably be going back to the patch again because it was so incredibly delicious!
Crumble:
1 c. all-purpose flour
1/2 c. oats
1/3 c. sugar
1/3 c. brown sugar
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. salt
1 stick butter, melted
Filling:
2 c. strawberries, hulled and cut into quarters
1/2 c. sugar
1 tsp. lemon juice
Mix the first seven ingredients together. In a separate bowl, mix strawberries, additional sugar and lemon juice. Press half of the oat mixture into the bottom of a greased 8x8 pan. pour strawberry mixture on top and finish with the remaining oat mix. Bake at 350 for 35-40 minutes. Serve with whipped cream or ice cream.
Strawberry Shortcake
Filling:
3 c. strawberries, halved
1/3 c. sugar
1/3 c. orange juice
2 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. lemon juice
Cakes:
1 1/4 c. flour
3 T sugar
1 t baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/8 tsp salt
3 T chilled butter
1/2 c. buttermilk
Whipped cream
Combine strawberries, sugar, OJ, vanilla and lemon juice in a bowl and mash with a fork or potato masher. Refrigerate.
In a separate bowl, mix dry ingredients. Cut in butter with a pastry blender until crumbly. Add in buttermilk and stir until mixed. Turn dough on a lightly floured surface. Roll out and cut into squares. place 1" apart on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Bake at 425 for 10-12 minutes. Let cool.
Stack shortcakes, strawberries, and whipped cream in layers and serve.
Earl Grey Tea Cookies
These were a total surprise to me! They are SO good! I'm planning to make them for a baby shower in a couple of weeks. They can also be made vegan just by using vegan butter instead of regular!
2 c, all-purpose flour
1/2 c. sugar
1/2 c. powdered sugar
1/4 c. salt
2 T Earl Grey Tea (about 4 bags worth)
6 ounces butter/vegan butter
2 t vanilla
1 T vanilla soy milk
Mix dry ingredients together in a food processor (or by hand if you don't have one like me)! Add in butter, vanilla and milk and continue to process (ahem, stir) until dough becomes slightly sticky. Roll into a log and place in plastic or parchment. Chill for 30 minutes to an hour. Cut into cookies and bake at 375 for 10 minutes.
Texas Sheet Cake Cookies
The name pretty much says it all.
Cookies:
1/2 c. butter
1/3 c. sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla

1/2 tsp salt
1 1/3 c. flour
1/2 c. chocolate chips, melted
Icing:
1/2 c. butter
2 T cocoa
3 T milk
2 1/2 c. powdered sugar
Mix butter and sugar together until fluffy. Add in egg vanilla and combine. Mix flour, salt and powder together in a separate bowl and gradually add them into the wet mixture. Finally, add in the melted chocolate chips. Shape into cookies on an ungreased cookie tray and bake at 350 for 7-8 minutes.
While baking, make the icing by melting the butter and adding int he cocoa and milk. Stir in the powdered sugar until desired consistency is reached. When cookies are done, pour icing over cookies. Allow to cool before eating.
Brown Sugar Cookies
Holy Schnikes, I may never make regular sugar cookies again!
2 c. flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp cornstarch
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
3/4 c. butter, melted,
1 1/4 c. brown sugar
1 egg

1/3 c. granulated sugar (optional - for rolling)
Mix the first 5 ingredients together in a small bowl and set aside. In a large bowl, combine butter and sugar. Add in egg and vanilla, then slowly add in dry ingredients. Chill for 2 hours.
Roll cookies in sugar if desired, then bake at 325 for 8-9 minutes.
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bars
Possibly the most fattening, delicious thing I've ever put in my mouth. And SO simple to make!
1 stick butter
3/4 c. brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla
2 c. flour
1 14-oz can sweetened condensed milk
2 1/2 c. chocolate chips
1/4 c. heavy cream
Mix the butter, brown sugar and vanilla together. Alternate adding in the flour and sweetened condensed milk. When combined, add in 1 1/2 c. chocolate chips. Chill for 2 hours. In a microwave or on the stove, melt remaining cup of chocolate chips and heavy cream together. Pour ganache over bars and spread evenly. Let chill another 2 hours before serving.
