Description

Soft, chewy cookies filled with creamy cheesecake and sweet strawberries  the perfect dessert for any occasion.


Ingredients

Scale

1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, softened

3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar

3/4 cup (150g) light brown sugar, packed

2 large eggs

1 tsp pure vanilla extract

2 3/4 cups (345g) all-purpose flour

1 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

1 cup diced fresh strawberries (or freeze-dried strawberries)

8 oz (226g) cream cheese, softened

1/3 cup (40g) powdered sugar


Instructions

1. Make the cheesecake filling by mixing cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Freeze dollops on a lined tray for 30 minutes.

2. Cream butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, then vanilla.

3. Whisk flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl.

4. Gradually mix dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.

5. Fold in strawberries gently, ensuring even distribution.

6. Scoop dough, flatten slightly, place frozen filling in the center, and seal with more dough.

7. Arrange cookies on a lined baking sheet, leaving space between each.

8. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 12–15 minutes until edges are golden but centers are soft.

9. Cool on the sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a rack.

Notes

Fresh strawberries add natural sweetness but must be patted dry to avoid soggy dough.

Freeze-dried strawberries are a great alternative for a more intense flavor.

Cookies taste best within 2 days but can be refrigerated for up to 4 days or frozen for 2 months.
