These rich and delicious cookies are so simple to make but look so beautiful. I love how the strawberries balance out the sweetness and richness of the chocolate and cheesecake.
Directions
For the cookies:
Heat oven to 350°. Cream the shortening and sugars until creamy.
Add the vanilla and eggs, one at a time, and mix well after each addition.
In a separate bowl, whisk the dry ingredients together then add to the shortening mixture and mix well. Add the chocolate chips and mix again.
Place the dough on a baking sheet using a cookie scoop to ensure the cookies are all the same size. Bake for 9-11 minutes. The cookies will look undercooked. Remove from the pan immediately and allow to cool completely.
For the cheesecake frosting:
Mix the pudding and milk together until partially set.
Fold in the whipped topping. Use more or less whipped topping depending on the flavor you want.
To Assemble:
Spread a layer of cheesecake frosting on the bottom of 2 cookies.
Add thick slices of strawberries then sandwich them together.
Store in the refrigerator. Remove from the refrigerator 15 minutes before serving.
