Reviews
I likewise had trouble finding strawberry extract(I have since found rasberrybut I did substitute vanilla at the time. I still added the food coloring because I wanted my cookies pink. I did a taste test after 2 hours and declared them done! They were super yummy without being overly sweet and I enjoyed them more the next day, they got softer on the inside while still keeping the crisp outside!
Every decent grocery store carries Strawberry Extract. Geez.
Made a batch following the recipe exactly, and another substituting lemon for strawberry extract (and yellow for red food coloring). They were really easy to make (I have a stand mixer so it was really quick!) and everyone at the birthday party I took them to loved them, especially the kids. Thanks for the great recipe Sandra!
Where do you find STRAWBERRY EXTRACT at ? I went to several stores as well and found lemon and orange but no strawberry. And I sure don’t live in Ohio either lol
I couldn’t find ANY imitation strawberry extract after 6 stores, is it just cause I live in ohio?
Very Good. I made them in 3 different colors and put them in a crystal bowl at a large party. They made a beautiful centerpiece and I was asked many times where I bought them.
very easy to make and they taste great
A great snack for the kids. I made these for my grandkids and they just loved them. No fat
I tried this recipe with my family and we just couldn’t stop eating them they were like the best thing I had inMy life time. Keep up the good cooking
My 10 year old daughter and friend made these (with a little help from Mom:) They came out great, just make sure you follow receipe and you do really have to beat the eggs for 5-7 minutes. Make sure you use a stainless steel bowl! They will not work with a plastic bowl, found that out the hard way!
