      Instructions

      Bake cookie cups

      • In a small bowl whisk together flour & baking powder - set aside
      • In mixer bowl beat butter until soft
      • Add sugar & mix well
      • Add egg- mix again
      • Add vanilla
      • Add flour & mix until dough begins to clump together
      • Roll dough into a ball & wrap with plastic wrap- refrigerate 1 hour
      • Once dough has chilled, preheat oven to 350 degrees
      • Pull off pieces of dough & roll into balls- then press into the wells of your muffin tin pan making the cup shape
      • Bake 12-15 minutes & allow to cool in pan before removing
      • To remove you can slide a butter knife along the side- they should pop right out

      Prepare glaze

      • Combine water, sugar & cornstarch in small saucepan & bring to a boil, whisking constantly until mixture is less white-more clear (you will notice it getting thicker & will be hazy)
      • Remove from heat & whisk in jell-o powder
      • Allow to cool for approx 5-10 minutes while you assemble your "pies"
      • (don't wait too long, it will solidify as it cools)

      Assemble

      • Add your prepared strawberries to the tops of cooled cookie cups
      • Drizzle with semi-cooled glaze
      • Top with whipped cream
