Grilled Strawberry Chocolate Chip Cookies!?!

Grilled Strawberry Chocolate Chip Cookies!?!

Grilled Strawberry Chocolate Chip Cookies

After seeing the recipe online...I knew I had to try it!?!

Then I knew I had to share it with you!?!

Using a pouch of sugar cookie mix as a base, I simply chopped up fresh strawberries -&-added them to the dough.

Now, you *could* fold in your strawberries, toss the cookies in the oven, and call it a day… or…

You could throw that cookie dough onto the grill! Sun

I can’t speak for you, but when birds start chirping and the sun starts shining a bit more, I immediately start craving all-things-grilled. And, since I can't bake cookies while ob the road...I thought grilling cookies might work!?!

I decided to translate his sarcasm into a reality!?!

If there were scratch ‘n sniff on the Internet, I can assure you this is the *one* place you’d want to use it. Smoky grill + cookie dough + sweet strawberries… yep.

You have no choice but to give a try yourself!?!

Texture-wise, these are definitely more crisp than what I usually pull from the oven!?!

As for the taste...it is something like no other!?!

Just make sure you don’t put the cookies on direct heat…

I learned this the hard way!?!
