Strawberry Cookies

XBD wanted to make strawberry cookies specifically, not strawberry muffins. We made muffins first but then he wanted to make strawberry muffin cookies - putting a cookie on top of a muffin. It didn't come to that but we enjoyed these cookies and shared with neighbors at the playground.
