One of our favorite fruits of all time has to be strawberries. They look delicious, taste delicious, and look like mini hearts – hard to top that! With summer here, strawberries are once again plentiful and sweet, much to our delight. With the warmer weather we wanted to find a light recipe that would combine our love for strawberries with our love for desserts.

We decided to bake some strawberry yogurt cookies because who doesn’t like a good cookie? We wanted to do a yogurt-based cookie since the yogurt makes the cookie lighter and moist – perfect for summer and our summer diet. We also allowed the natural taste and sweetness of the strawberries to come out by not adding any sugar.

For our yogurt we chose Alove aloe vera yogurt. This yogurt is a Japanese-style yogurt with a smooth, creamy texture. They have aloe vera gel pieces in the yogurt, making it both refreshing and delicious. We used their strawberry flavored yogurt to give our cookies some added strawberry taste. The yogurt by itself is delicious and we thought the aloe vera pieces would be perfect for summer and add a refreshing taste and texture to the cookie.
