Ingredients
Scale
For the Cookies:
- ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
- ½ cup (110g) packed brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1½ cups (180g) all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
For the Cheesecake Filling:
- 6 oz (170g) cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup (30g) powdered sugar
- ¼ tsp vanilla extract
For the Strawberry Swirl:
- ¼ cup (60g) strawberry jam or preserves
Instructions
Prepare Cheesecake Filling:
- In a small bowl, combine cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
- Scoop into 12 small dollops (~1 tsp each) onto parchment paper and freeze for at least 30 minutes until firm.
Make Cookie Dough:
- In a large bowl, cream together butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (2–3 minutes).
- Add the egg and vanilla; mix until well combined.
- Stir in flour, baking soda, and salt until a soft dough forms. Chill dough for 15–20 minutes if it’s too soft to handle.
Assemble Cookies:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Flatten 2 tbsp of cookie dough in your hand. Place a frozen cheesecake center in the middle and wrap dough around to fully enclose.
- Roll into a ball and place on the baking sheet. Repeat with remaining dough and filling.
Add Strawberry Swirl:
- Use a spoon or toothpick to swirl about 1 tsp of strawberry jam over the top of each cookie dough ball.
Bake:
- Bake for 12–14 minutes, or until edges are golden and centers are just set.
- Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
- For gooey centers: Enjoy slightly warm out of the oven.
- For firmer texture: Chill cookies before serving.
- Storage: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 1 month.
