“Baking the Cookies I Wish Were in My Backpack Again” ❤️🧡🎒
When I was first starting out, what I initially planned was to make my own version of Dewberry cookies — the ones I grew up snacking on during my school days. The kind I’d get so thrilled to see in my backpack. I definitely loved the strawberry and blueberry flavors the most. You could even say it was a little weird that I would eat the biscuit and cream filling first, then save the jam for last.
So when I finally decided to try making them myself last year, I searched online for recipes and ways to recreate them at home. The only problem was that I didn’t — and still don’t — own a cookie cutter, which meant I couldn’t really replicate the iconic Dewberry shape exactly. Instead, I ended up trying thumbprint cookies, and honestly, they still gave me the same feeling: buttery cookies with a sweet jam center, just presented a little differently. Of course, minus the cream filling.
Besides, it was much easier to simply press the cookie dough with my thumb. If you go back to my first few posts, you’ll see them right away. They were also one of the first things I ever baked.
Sadly, I got so used to making round-shaped cookies that I honestly became tired of seeing the same shape in every batch I made. So this time, I thought I’d try making them into flower shapes instead. I thought they turned out nice and pretty — and not too bad for an attempt, right?
