How to Store Strawberry Oreo Cookies
If you happen to have any leftovers (which is pretty rare in my house), you can store the Strawberry Oreo Cookies in an airtight container in the fridge. They stay fresh for about 2-3 days, but I doubt they’ll last that long.
Tips to Make Strawberry Oreo Cookies
- Make sure your cream cheese is nicely softened before you start mixing. This helps everything come together smoothly.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of strawberries if you’re a berry lover. More strawberries equals more flavor!
- If you want to take it up a notch, try using flavored Oreos—there are so many fun options!
Variation
If you want to switch things up a bit, you can try adding a splash of lemon juice to the cream mixture for a refreshing tartness. This brightens up the flavor and pairs beautifully with the strawberries!
FAQs
Can I use frozen strawberries?
Yes! Just make sure to thaw and drain them well. You don’t want too much extra moisture in your filling.
How can I make these cookies dairy-free?
You can substitute the cream cheese with a vegan cream cheese alternative and use coconut cream in place of whipped cream. There are plenty of great dairy-free options available these days!
Can I freeze these cookies?
While it’s best enjoyed fresh, you can freeze the assembled cookies. Just be sure to wrap them tightly to prevent freezer burn. Allow them to thaw in the fridge before serving.
So there you have it—easy, fun, and utterly delicious Strawberry Oreo Cookies! I can’t wait for you to try them with your family. Happy baking!
