These strawberry shortcake cookies capture everything you love about the summer dessert — tender, buttery texture, fresh strawberries baked right into the dough, and a simple vanilla glaze that ties it all together. They're softer than a typical cookie, closer to a scone, and absolutely worth the fresh fruit.
