Ingredients

Strawberry Crunch Cookies

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup Imperial Sugar Extra Fine Granulated Sugar
  • 3/4 cups Imperial Sugar Light Brown Sugar
  • 2 eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon strawberry extract
  • 15 drops red or pink liquid food coloring

Topping
  • 20 Golden Oreos
