I made this last night for a family get-together and was told it was the best strawberry shortcake ever tasted. It is easy and delicious–the strawberries can be made ahead of time, and the dry biscuit ingredients can also be mixed ahead. Just add the wet ingredients after dinner and whip the cream while the biscuits bake. It’s the perfect end to a meal on a warm evening!

monster cookie ice cream sandwiches? yes PLEASE! monster cookies are absolutely delicious alone (i have a batch on hand almost always.. #confessions), and they are even better with ice cream. i used vanilla bean gelato, but use whatever ice cream you like. let the ice cream sit out at room temperature to thaw a bit, then smear in between two cookies.
