Introducing Giant Strawberry Pop Tart Cookies – the playful twist on a classic that your taste buds have been dreaming of! These oversized beauties pack all the nostalgic flavors of your favorite childhood treat, but with a healthier spin. Made with natural sweeteners, these cookies are bursting with real strawberry filling, all sandwiched between two chewy, buttery layers.
Tope them off with colorful sprinkles, they’re not just a dessert; they’re a delightful experience that satisfies your sweet tooth while keeping your health goals intact. Perfect for sharing (or not!), these cookies are sure to be a hit at any gathering – or as a special treat just for you!
The only thing I really did here to lighten these up was to reduce the amount of sugar used by substituting in natural sweeteners that measure cup for cup like regular sugars. If you really wanted to, you could also go with a no sugar added or even a sugar free preserve here too.
