Ingredients

Scale
  1. For the Cookies:
    • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened – for a rich, buttery base
    • ½ cup granulated sugar – adds sweetness and texture
    • ½ cup brown sugar – enhances the chewy texture and adds depth
    • 1 large egg – binds the dough together
    • 1 tsp vanilla extract – for a warm, aromatic flavor
    • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour – forms the structure of the cookie
    • ½ tsp baking soda – helps the cookies spread evenly
    • ¼ tsp baking powder – adds a little lift to the cookies
    • ¼ tsp salt – balances the sweetness
    • ½ cup freeze-dried strawberries, crushed – bursts of strawberry flavor in every bite

    For the Cheesecake Filling:

    • 4 oz cream cheese, softened – creamy and tangy center
    • 2 tbsp granulated sugar – lightly sweetens the filling
    • 1 tsp vanilla extract – enhances the flavor
    • ¼ cup strawberry jam or puree – fruity sweetness in the center

Instructions

  • Prepare the Filling:
    • In a bowl, mix the cream cheese, sugar, vanilla, and strawberry jam/puree until smooth and creamy. Cover and refrigerate while making the cookie dough.
  • Make the Cookie Dough:
    • In a large bowl, cream the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy.
    • Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
    • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients to form a smooth dough.
    • Fold in the crushed freeze-dried strawberries until evenly distributed. Cover and chill the dough for 30 minutes.
  • Assemble the Cookies:
    • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
    • Scoop out 1 tablespoon of cookie dough, flatten it, and place ½ teaspoon of cheesecake filling in the center. Top with another tablespoon of dough, seal the edges, and roll into a ball.
    • Arrange dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.
  • Bake and Cool:
    • Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
    • Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Serve and Enjoy:
    • Indulge in these delightful cookies with their creamy strawberry cheesecake centers!

Notes

  • For best results, ensure the cream cheese filling is well-chilled before assembling the cookies.
  • If you don’t have freeze-dried strawberries, substitute with finely chopped fresh strawberries (reduce moisture by patting dry).
