Description
Strawberry Cheesecake Cookies are soft, chewy cookies with a creamy cheesecake center and fresh strawberry pieces. Perfect for dessert lovers, these cookies combine rich flavor with simple homemade preparation.
Ingredients
Cookies:
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon strawberry extract
2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ cup fresh strawberries, chopped and dried
Cream Cheese Filling:
¾ cup cream cheese, room temperature
¼ cup powdered sugar
Instructions
Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling: Beat cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Scoop teaspoon-sized balls onto a parchment-lined tray and freeze for at least 1 hour.
Make the Cookie Dough: Cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Add eggs, vanilla, and strawberry extract. Mix in flour and baking soda gradually, then fold in chopped strawberries.
Assemble the Cookies: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Flatten tablespoon-sized dough portions, place frozen cream cheese ball in the center, and wrap dough around it. Roll into smooth balls and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Bake: Bake 10–12 minutes until edges are lightly golden. Cool 5 minutes on baking sheet, then transfer to a wire rack.
Notes
Freeze cream cheese filling before assembling to prevent leakage.
Pat strawberries dry to avoid excess moisture.
Chill dough for thicker, chewier cookies.
Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
