hi is there a reason for dixie sugar or can I use any kind of granulated sugar and brown sugar
Hi Jamie, I used and posted about Dixie Crystals as the sugar brand used for this recipe because this specific recipe was created for the Dixie Crystals brand 🙂
I think the recipe is fabulous but it does not have the quantities of each ingredient. I already registered on your page but still looking for the recipe in your index does not have the quantities. I would like you to provide me with them.Strawberry crunxh cookies. Thanks.
Hi Jose! Just Click the giant link at the bottom of the post (above where you posted a comment) – that says “Grab The Recipe Here” and you’ll be taken to the free recipe.
can you tell me the best way to store them and how long they last?
Store them in and airtight container and they should be good for a week or 2. I haven’t had them longer than a few days haha
Do you remove the middle frosting from the golden Oreos before crushing them?
Nope. Just leave them whole.
i’m sorry but your website navigation is terrible. not user friendly.
Hi Alanna! So sorry that my site was a pain for you. I’d love some suggestions on how I can make it better
Their is no amounts written on the recipe
Hi Jovette, I made this recipe for Dixie Crystals, so you just have to click the big line in the post that says, “Just Click Here To Grab The Recipe” <3
honestly just wanted to say you’re really pretty but also we can use any sugar right this was just made to like sponsor the brand??
Hey! Yes, you can use any white sugar for this recipe. I did create this recipe for Dixie Crystals, so that is why I listed their sugar in the recipe 🙂
The flavor of the cookies were very good. The cookies had more of a cakey texture. I prefer cookies that are on the chewy side. I am an avid baker, as I have a home bakery. I tried to not bake them as long, but still had the cake texture. I tried to drop the pan on the counter to get them to deflate, and they still did not flatten out. Would still make again because the flavor is great and my preference may not be everyone else’s preference. I took a picture to post but don’t see an option to attach the photo.
Have you tried freezing these?
I have not. I’m sorry.
I froze the cookies and felt they froze well.
I can’t wait to try these! I was thinking about substituting the jello mix for blended dried strawberries. Do you have any thoughts on this, do you think it would work okay? Thanks for the recipe 🙂
Hey Sarah! You can give that a try! I think it would work.
I made these cookies with blended dried strawberries instead of jello and left out the red food coloring (my friend is allergic to coloring), and they turned out delicious! Very strong strawberry flavor and stays crunchy for days in a Tupperware Thank you for the recipe!
Hi Sarah!! I’m so happy to hear that! I bet the dried strawberries really did bring out the strawberry flavor! Perfection!
look forward to seeing new recipes

Where’s the measurements? I need them asap for a church function
Hi Amy! Look towards the bottom of the post, right before the comment section and there is a recipe card with all of the measurements and directions.
Don’t see an amount for the butter for the topping
4 tablespoons butter, melted
well I don’t know what I did wrong . I followed directions but this recipe was a EPIC fail . wasted money on ingredients .
Hi Kathy, I’m sorry the cookies didn’t work out for you. What was wrong with them? If you can tell me how they did turn out maybe I can help. Did you not like the taste? The Texture? Did they spread?
Sorry if it already says it in the recipe but do I put the topping in the oven to or not
Yep! You roll the cookie dough balls in the topping before baking 🙂
Strawberry Jello or strawberry jello brand pudding?
Strawberry Jello but in powder form. Not made into wiggly Jello
so you have the nutrition info on this cookie… ie calories, fat… etc
I do not. I’m not a nutritionist so I try not to add those things to my recipe.
