Every memorial day my family gets together for a picnic. We tend to have typical picnic/BBQ food like hamburgers, hot dogs, potato salad, and pasta salad.
I’m usually in charge of dessert. After a large meal we like something light that my grandma would say “just slides down”.
Last year, we really enjoyed the Patriotic Poke Cake because it was light and fruity.
I wanted to stick with something along those lines. Take a look at these Strawberry Shortcake Cookie Cups!

Deborah saysGreat idea! I want to make this for my women’s bible study, but I need to know how many cookie cups this recipe makes. What is the yield? I don’t see it on the recipe.

Thanks Deborah!
I’m very sorry but it was so long ago I honestly don’t remember. I don’t want to guess and tell you the wrong thing.

If one follows this recipe as presented there is no instruction for using the ‘set aside” flour mixture. Not good instructions.
