Have I mentioned that there are strawberries at Walmart for $2.09?
I’m going to be like one of those beauty bloggers and say I am obsessed. Fresh strawberries in the winter? Please and thank you wally world.
I have a recipe for some bomb greek yogurt lofthouse cookies that’s coming soon and those cookies needed some bomb buttercream so here this is. That color is completely natural and the frosting is fluffy, creamy, and R I C H.
Even my fam bam said whoaaaaa. That’s some sweet frosting.
Basically, this nailed the classic Lofthouse cookie. Those are some sweet cookies. Incredibly sweet. Incredibly good.
But this is all about the frosting. Many strawberry buttercreams use food coloring or freeze dried strawberries but this recipe uses fresh strawberries boiled down into a syrup that whips right into the buttercream. It gives it a natural pink and a perfect strawberry flavor.
