Strawberry Rhubarb Sugar Cookie Crisp

With Easter right around the corner, I know that many of you will be hosting the holiday at your home, or bringing a dish to someone else’s home.

Strawberry Rhubarb Sugar Cookie Crisp

I urge you, right now, to volunteer for dessert. And then to make this Strawberry Rhubarb Sugar Cookie Crisp. Everyone will love and worship you for it. I promise.

Strawberry Rhubarb Sugar Cookie Crisp

Tender, sweet and tart strawberries and rhubarb are covered in a sift and flaky blanket of sugar cookie.

Strawberry Rhubarb Sugar Cookie Crisp

I have made oatmeal crisps, pies, shortbread bars, tarts, crumbles and cobblers. But when I was thinking of a new way to prepare these beautiful spring fruits a sheet of sugar cookie goodness sprang to mind.

Strawberry Rhubarb Sugar Cookie Crisp

It did not disappoint. It was gone in a matter of hours. That is saying something for our household.

OK. I will quit babbling. Just make this- please. (obviously would be delicious with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream!)
