I thought they would be more like biscuits and was surprised that they were more like a butter cookie in taste. YUM.

And when we traveled to CT last year, my girls found them in my parents' basement, so guess where they are now? I don't think I've seen any of the Strawberry Shortcake books, but they sound like a complete nightmare. Although Elizabeth just got a Zhu Zhu Pets book from the Scholastic Book Club, and they can't be worse than that. (on the subject of kids' books - just an aside. I read to Elizabeth every night for over 5 years, and it never made her remotely sleepy. Now she is starting to read to me, and I zonk out within 20 seconds. It's sad, really.)<br /><br />I am SO HAPPY that you and your sweet family loved these, Di!! I have to admit that I didn't expect them to be as great as they were. Yours look perfect!! Thank you so much for baking with me this week, my friend!!Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06859210460017421539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1336096338851447197.post-80396511446355499812010-06-09T01:53:38.646-05:002010-06-09T01:53:38.646-05:00i think the doll made a comeback a few yrs ago, bu...i think the doll made a comeback a few yrs ago, but maybe catered more to the nostalgic crowd.Tiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17079250994113691796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1336096338851447197.post-79443299272147399712010-06-09T00:11:02.882-05:002010-06-09T00:11:02.882-05:00I need to remember to use my vanilla sugar.

Sort of makes me wish I hadn't eaten all of mine. I am really intrigued by your idea of converting everything to grams to make it easier to scale recipes. This may be a dumb question, but where are you finding the conversion data?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02131968703642650198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1336096338851447197.post-24082480135762837432010-06-08T20:09:05.834-05:002010-06-08T20:09:05.834-05:00Hi Di,

How can you go wrong. I actually halved the recipe too. The ones I put in the freezer overnight came out this morning, baked and went to work with me. My new baker friends loved them. It was a joy to share. The freezer works well. <br />AmyRuthAmyRuthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13169683439490074470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1336096338851447197.post-22475588462347112832010-06-08T19:49:02.252-05:002010-06-08T19:49:02.252-05:00I didn't have a strawberry shortcake doll, but...I didn't have a strawberry shortcake doll, but I was the girl pulling heads off Barbies :P Kudos for converting to grams - that way works so much better, doesn't it?Engineer Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02161595493653354044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1336096338851447197.post-23334983379929237192010-06-08T19:43:58.264-05:002010-06-08T19:43:58.264-05:00Your shortcakes and berries look fantastic!
