Description
Strawberry Cheesecake Cookies are soft, creamy treats—bursting with strawberry flavor and a dreamy cheesecake center.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¾ cup diced fresh strawberries
- 6 oz cream cheese, softened
- 3 tbsp powdered sugar
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a small bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Scoop 1 tsp portions onto a parchment-lined plate and freeze for 30 minutes.
- In a medium bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large bowl, cream butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add egg and vanilla, mixing until smooth.
- Gradually add dry ingredients and mix until a soft dough forms. Gently fold in strawberries.
- Scoop 2 tablespoons of dough, flatten it, and place a frozen cheesecake ball in the center. Cover with another tablespoon of dough and roll into a ball.
- Chill cookie dough balls for at least 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Bake for 11-13 minutes, until edges are golden and centers are soft. Let cool before serving.
Notes
- For best results, freeze the cheesecake centers before stuffing to keep centers intact while baking.
- Do not overmix the dough; fold in strawberries gently to avoid breaking them.
- Store cookies in an airtight container up to 3 days; freeze for longer storage.
