  2. For the strawberry topping: - Take the chopped strawberries and add 2 cups of water to a saucepan. - Heat until mixture is a rolling boil. - Reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes. - Add 1 cup of sugar and bring to a rolling boil again. - Reduce heat and simmer for another 5 minutes - stirring often to dissolve sugar. - Place in a container and set aside for now.

Cookies should just be turning a slight golden color around the edges.
