We are in the last few days of the year and it calls for celebration, isn’t it? A new year, a new decade awaits us. December is a wonderful month, time to celebrate Christmas and New year and cherish the time with family and friends.

Since the past few days, it’s been a baking spree for me. I made different kinds of cookies and we loved them. Here is one cookie recipe I am sharing with you.

It’s the season of strawberries and I had them in the refrigerator. I love using them in my recipes, thus one of the cookies that I made was a strawberry cookie. Strawberry cookie is an easy to make, fuss free, eggless recipe. It has the goodness of fresh fruit in it and flavoursome. These cookies are pretty pink.

I hope you like these cookies as much as we did.  Merry Christmas !
