Strawberry Milk Chipster Ice Cream Sandwiches

I guess you could say, I'm a bit on a strawberry bender. I can't leave them alone!

Spring fever has struck all round, and I'm not the only one. As I was reading a few of my food blog faves, I came across a recipe for a strawberry cookie made with strawberry Nestle Quick. Of all things! It sounded intriguing to me, and I knew my big boy would go for it. He loves strawberry milk more than life itself. So I decided to give Strawberry Milk Chipsters a try. Am I glad I did!

The recipe is courtesy of Jenny over at the Picky Palate. You should definitely check out her site. I really love it!

Strawberry Milk Chipsters

2 sticks softened butter

1/2 Cup strawberry milk Powder, Nestles

3/4 Cup brown sugar

2 eggs

1-2 drops red food coloring

1 Tablespoon pure vanilla extract

2 1/2 Cups all purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

10 oz bag White Chocolate Chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. 

Cream the softened butter.

In a stand or electric mixer beat the butter, strawberry milk and brown sugar until well combined. 

Place eggs into a bowl and whisk in 1-2 drops of food coloring.  Pour into mixer along with vanilla and beat until combined, about 30 seconds.  

I cheated here and just added the eggs and food coloring straight in. No problems.Place flour, baking soda and salt into a large bowl; mix to combine then slowly add to wet ingredients along with white chips.  Mix on low until just combined.

I added the chips last and stirred by hand. It's just the way I do things.

With a medium cookie scoop, scoop dough onto a silpat or parchment lined baking sheet about 1 1/2 inches apart. 

My mom gave me a silpat that I'd given her some years ago. It has been sitting in a drawer all rolled up. It still curls a bit. :/ Bake for 9-11 minute or until edges just start to brown.  Let cookies cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.

about 3 dozen cookies

 

They taste as good as they look. I had one with a cold glass of milk, and later I thought, "These would make excellent ice cream sandies!" So after supper, I dug out the Blue Bell.

 He's not usually this patient!

Popeye says... two thumbs up! These will be a regular item around my house now.

Try some soon! I bet you'll love them as much as we do.

Besides, who could resist baking for these two cuties? Certainly not me!

Keep lovin' and keep cookin'.
