Ingredients
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
1 large egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup chopped fresh strawberries (patted dry)
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
1. In a bowl, beat softened cream cheese with 1/4 cup sugar and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth. Scoop small teaspoons onto a parchment-lined tray and freeze for 30 minutes.
2. Whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
3. In another bowl, cream together butter, 1 cup granulated sugar, and brown sugar until fluffy.
4. Beat in egg and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract until well combined.
5. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients just until combined.
6. Gently fold in chopped strawberries using a spatula.
7. Scoop 2 tablespoons of dough, flatten it slightly, place a frozen cheesecake ball in the center, and wrap the dough around it. Seal completely.
8. Chill the stuffed dough balls for 30 minutes in the refrigerator or freezer.
9. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake cookies for 12–14 minutes until edges are golden.
10. Let cool on the baking sheet for 5–10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Serve warm or chilled.
Notes
Always chill the stuffed cookie dough before baking to maintain shape and texture.
Pat strawberries dry to prevent excess moisture from ruining the dough.
Slight underbaking is ideal—cookies firm up as they cool, giving you that soft, chewy center.
