Strawberry Crunch Cookies Recipe

Strawberry Crunch Cookies are a sweet, crunchy, and irresistibly delicious treat inspired by the nostalgic Strawberry Crunch Ice Cream Bars.

Whether you’re making them for Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, a baby shower, or just a fun dessert, these cookies are sure to impress!

The secret to their signature crunch comes from a Golden Oreo and strawberry Jell-O topping, which gives them a sweet, slightly tangy, and crispy finish. The soft and chewy cookie base complements the crunch perfectly, making every bite a delightful experience.
