Since it is strawberry season you can also make your own strawberry cream cheese and it is wonderful. If you have not done this before you should do it soon. It’s great on bagels as well as in these cookies. I love this recipe for Strawberry Sauce from “Our Best Bites” and we eat it on everything from ice cream to waffles and pancakes and several different desserts. Now that I use it to make the Strawberry Cream Cheese, I love it even more!
