Keeping things simple with a smidge of Southern charm
Someone may crinkle their nose up at me for saying this, but boxed cake mix is a magical thing. I wish I could’ve been a fly on the wall when they first rolled out on the shelves many years ago. They changed the game in some really big ways, cutting cook time dramatically for women putting together desserts for their families to enjoy.

If you’re looking for a cookie recipe that’s as easy as can be and is overflowing with delicious flavor, you’ve come to the right place.

That’s where these sweet Strawberry Milkshake Cookies come in to play…and just in time for Valentine’s Day! 😉
