For the Crumble
- 3oz box of Strawberry gelatin (Jell-o)
- 1 cup of flour, divided
- 1/2 cup of butter, divided
- 1/2 cup of sugar, divided
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Cream cheese frosting (homemade or from the can)
For the Cookies
- Strawberry boxed cake mix
- 2 Eggs
- 1/3 cup of oil
Instructions
For the Crumble
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the gelatin, 1/2 cup of flour, and 1/4 cup of butter.
- Cut the butter into smaller pieces to help it mix easily. You can start to combine with your hands using your body temperature to soften the butter slightly. Finish off with a fork to help get the mixture crumbly.
- In a separate medium bowl mix add 1/2 cup of flour, 1/2 cup of sugar and one teaspoon of vanilla extract. Cut the butter into smaller pieces to help it mix easily. You can start to combine with your hands using your body temperature to soften the butter slightly. Finish off with a fork to help get the mixture crumbly.
- Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Sprinkle the strawberry crumble in an even layer on the cookie sheet. Add the vanilla on top also in an even layer. Combine slightly with your hands until evenly mixed.
- Bake for 8 mins.
- Remove from oven and let cool completely. Do not stir.
- Once cool, crumble with hands and store an airtight container.
For the Cookies
- Heat your oven to 350 degrees.
- Mix everything together. You should be able to roll a ball of the dough in your hand, like cookie dough. Too thin and it would be cake mix.
- Roll out small balls of dough on a cookie sheet, and smash them down with the bottom of a glass cup so they are flat.
- Place in the oven for about 8 mins or until the bottoms are slightly golden brown.
- Let cool completely on wire racks.
Assembling the cookies
- Spread a nice layer of cream cheese frosting over the top of one cookie.
- Sprinkle strawberry shortcake crumble on top of the frosting (as much as your heart desires).
