"What kind of cookies should we make?"
"Strawberry."
I'd never heard of strawberry cookies. Were they pink cookies? Did they just have pink frosting? Were they just in the shape of a strawberry? Rather than go to the Internet and hear what everyone else thought a strawberry cookie was, I started asking myself what the Little One might have found lacking in previous batches of cookies. Were they dry? Did she not get to use the rolling pin enough? The answer, I decided, was to buy premade sugar cookie dough and a jar of strawberry jam. Voila. Strawberry cookies.
No stores in our neighborhood had the cans of Pilsbury dough, so we bought the Duncan Hines sugar cookie mix. This worked out better for incorporating the rolling pin. One cookie in the shape of a Superman glass, add some jam, top with another cookie in the shape of a Superman glass minus a heart or star cut-out. Bake. Strawberry cookies (that are not so easy to layer in a narrow Tupperware container).
