Strawberry Blossom Recipe

Strawberry Blossom Cookies are made with a strawberry cake mix with simple ingredient mix-ins. Nestled in the center of these cookies are delicious pieces of chocolate.

The chocolate that is pressed into the center of these cookies are cookies and cream chocolates but can be replaced with your favorite chocolate candy. Milk, Dark, and White Chocolate are all great matches to these strawberry cookies!

These cookies are perfect for the Valentine's Day holiday. They are a beautiful pink color and have heart-shaped chocolates pressed into the center of each cookie hot out of the oven.

These cookies are also fun for other occasions such as birthdays and for Mother's Day. Just swap out of the chocolate that is in the center to fit the special event! A milk chocolate center would taste great with the strawberry flavor!

The easiest way to make these strawberry cookies is to start with a cake mix. That way, there is no strawberry powder necessary to reach the strawberry flavor. With just a few extra ingredients these cake mix cookies come together quickly!

Preheat the oven - Preheat the oven to 375ºF and line two cookie sheets with parchment paper. Parchment paper helps the cookies from spreading and is great for easy and quick cleanup!

Strawberry Ice Cream Blossom Cookies

Prepare the Strawberry Cookie Mix- Add the vegetable oil to a bowl and beat in the eggs until the mixture is creamy. Sprinkle in the all-purpose flour as well as the strawberry cake mix and add in the tablespoon of milk. Mix the batter until a cookie dough forms.

Chill the cookie dough- Chilling the dough is an important step for the success of this cookie. Without chilling, the cookie will spread while baking, and the chocolates that are pressed into the center will not nestle down into the center of the cookies and instead sit on top of them.

Tip: Use a small cookie scoop (#30) to get the same size cookies. Roll the cookies into balls and then roll into sugar before chilling to reduce the handling time before baking.

Bake the strawberry cookies- Place the cookie balls that have been rolled in granulated sugar on the cookie sheet that has been lined with parchment paper. Only bake one cookie sheet at a time. Return the unused cookie balls back to the refrigerator.

Press the chocolate into the center- Remove the cookies from the oven and press a chocolate into the center of each cookie. Be careful not to move the chocolate around as it will melt as it is moved and may disfigure the heart shape.

Allow the cookies to cool completely before transferring them to a container for storage. This may take a while as it will take a bit of the chocolate candies to reharden and not smudge.

Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries (we call them Strawberry Blossoms in my family) take about 10 minutes to put together, and are so elegant. They are perfect for Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, baby and bridal showers, New Year’s Eve, etc. It’s a super easy way to up the fancy on your event!

Strawberry Blossom Recipe

Today I set up my yoga mat on the rug in our living room to do some exercising. I stepped on something sharp and bent down to pick up what I expected to be a small toy, but instead it was a SHARK TOOTH. Like, an actual shark tooth. Bought in the gift shop of a natural history museum.

This is when being a parent to a little boy gets weird, guys. And can I just say, stepping on a shark tooth is seriously painful. You thought legos were bad!!

Today is January 31, but I have to say it kind of feels like January 51. Anyone else?? January always drags. Let’s get on with February already! Valentine’s Day is way more fun than -65 temperatures. (How are all my readers in the midwest handling the cold front?? You guys okay?? Stay warm! If it’s going to reach below -21 where you are this week, boil a pot of water and throw it in the air outside. It will fall down as snow! It’s pretty cool. You can even try dying the water. We did that once at Christmas up in Montana when it was -40.)

Strawberry And Orange Blossom Smoothie

My Aunt Shirley has been making these Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries for as long as I can remember! They are so good, I can probably eat 10 in a row. They are a SUPER easy appetizer that takes very little effort, but will instantly up the fancy level of your party.

Or, if you are having an intimate dinner for 2, these would be the perfect appetizer to have plated and ready to go on the beautifully set table. (Eric and I will definitely be having a homemade intimate dinner for two on February 14. We will have to chain the children up in the basement. I’m KIDDING omg.)

It’s so simple. Just whip together some cream cheese, sour cream, and powdered sugar, and pipe it into the strawberries. Takes 10 minutes.

Orange Blossom Water Strawberries

Here’s an easy way to filling a piping bag: place it in an empty glass. It’s a lot easier to get the filling in there. If you don’t have a pastry bag, just fill a ziplock bag and snip off one of the corners.

I’ve seen Cheesecake filled strawberries around before, but usually people are cutting out the center of the strawberry from the stem end. Which is tasty but I don’t think it looks as pretty. Aunt Shirley calls these “Strawberry Blossoms” because they look like pretty little flowers on a tray.

And most recipes just call for cream cheese and powdered sugar. This one has sour cream in it, which adds a bit more a a tang that pairs so well with gorgeous ripe strawberries.

There are lots of variations you could make with cream cheese stuffed strawberries. Top each blossom with a blueberry or a wedge of kiwi. Dip the base
