Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (227 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (100 g) brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3 cups (375 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 8 oz (227 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup (60 g) powdered sugar
  • 1 cup (150 g) fresh strawberries, diced

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.
  4. In another bowl, beat the cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth to prepare the cheesecake filling.
  5. Gently fold the diced strawberries into the cookie dough, being careful not to crush them.
  6. Scoop out 2 tablespoons of cookie dough, flatten slightly, and place a teaspoon of cheesecake filling in the center. Fold the dough around the filling and roll into a ball.
  7. Place cookies on the prepared baking sheets, spaced 2 inches apart. Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

Chill the dough if it feels too soft to handle. Use fresh strawberries for the best flavor, but blot them dry to avoid excess moisture. Store cookies in the fridge due to the cream cheese filling.
