Strawberry Cookies

I came across this recipe on MarthaStewart.com and was engrossed in the idea of making cookies with fresh strawberries in them.

By the way they turned out, it was nothing like the picture. They were far more brown and burnt looking. Plus the strawberries dried out. Martha you failed me.

But they did taste good. Then I saw this show.

What child would watch a show about a ten year old Martha Stewart problem solving? I prefer Jake and the Neverland Pirates. But Martha? Really? Eh. Who invested in that?

1/2 cup white chocolate chips

What you do:

Preheat the oven to 375 F. In a medium bowl, toss the strawberries together with 2 tablespoons of sugar and the lemon juice and set them aside.
