Strawberry Basil Breakfast Cookies
Because who doesn’t want a breakfast cookie for breakfast?! This summer I have an overabundance of basil growing in my garden. I am not tired of it yet, and so I am experimenting with it in a lot of ways! These strawberry basil breakfast cookies were one of my experiments, but they really were delicious. I do get bored with breakfast sometimes, and so I always like to try new things. I am delighted when they come out really yummy!
