Time 20m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 pint fresh strawberries, hulled
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon chocolate sprinkles

Steps:

  • Cut the hulled-side strawberries so they can stand up on a plate. Slice the tip off each strawberry to make the 'hat'; set aside.
  • Beat cream and confectioners' sugar in a glass or metal bowl until soft peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the whipped cream will form soft mounds.
  • Spoon a large dollop of whipped cream on top of strawberry base for the 'face' and 'beard'. Set the 'hat' atop the 'face'. Add a dot of whipped cream, using a toothpick, on top of the 'hat' for the 'pom-pom' and 2 dots on the strawberry base for 'buttons'. Place 2 sprinkles on the 'face' for 'eyes'.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, ripe ingredients. This will ensure your cookies have the best flavor and texture.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the dough, making the cookies lighter and more tender.
  • Chill the dough before baking. This will help to prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies at the correct temperature. If the oven is too hot, the cookies will brown too quickly and may burn. If the oven is too cool, the cookies will not cook through properly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before frosting them. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
