Preparation

Baking
  1. Place cookies in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes.
  2. Once baked, allow them to cool on the sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Frosting Preparation

Assembly
  1. Once the cookies are fully cooled, drizzle the cream cheese frosting over them.
  2. Let it set before enjoying!

Notes

For the best flavor, use high-quality cocoa powder and be cautious not to overmix the dough. If fresh strawberries aren't available, frozen ones can be used after thawing and drying.
