Star Shaped Cookies

Special Toll House Cookies For Independence Day

There’s nothing more American than Toll House cookies. While THE NIBBLE focuses on specialty foods, we’re a sucker for this classic cookie. This fun recipe is the perfect Independence Day treat. Star-shaped cookies are decorated with red strawberries and plump blueberries on velvety white cream cheese and topped with a sprinkling of chocolate chip mini morsels. The recipe was developed by Nestlé, the makers of Toll House morsels.

Nestlé Toll House Stars and Stripes Cookies Recipe

Ingredients

1 package (18 ounces) refrigerated chocolate chip cookie bar dough
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, at room temperature
1/3 cup granulated sugar
20 fresh, medium strawberries, sliced
3/4 cup fresh blueberries
2 tablespoons semi-sweet chocolate mini morsels

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350°F.
Roll cookie dough to 1/4" thickness between two pieces of wax paper. Remove top piece of paper. Cut cookie dough into stars with 3-inch star cookie cutter.
Transfer cookies to ungreased baking sheet(s). If stars are too hard to remove from wax paper, refrigerate rolled dough for 10 minutes.
Roll remaining dough to 1/4" thickness; cut out additional stars.

If you need star cookie cutters, get this set by Wilton.

Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until light golden brown. While hot, reshape and pat edges of each star back into shape with knife.
Cool on baking sheet(s) for 2 minutes; remove to wire rack(s) to cool completely.
Beat cream cheese and sugar in small mixer bowl until fluffy. Spread onto cooled cookies. Place strawberry slices onto each cookie pointing outward. Place 5 to 6 blueberries in center of each cookie. Top each cookie with morsels.

Makes 20 cookies.
