  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 18-20 cookies 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Cheesecake Filling

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, finely chopped

Cookie Dough

  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the cheesecake filling: Beat softened cream cheese with sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy, then gently fold in finely chopped fresh strawberries. Chill this mixture to help it firm up slightly before stuffing.
  2. Make the cookie dough: Cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy, add eggs and vanilla, then slowly mix in the dry ingredients—flour, baking powder, and salt—until just combined for a tender, soft dough.
  3. Assemble the cookies: Take a small portion of cookie dough in your palm, flatten it, and place a spoonful of the cheesecake-strawberry filling in the center. Carefully wrap the dough around the filling, sealing it completely and forming a ball.
  4. Bake the cookies: Place the stuffed dough balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving space between each. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 12-15 minutes until lightly golden but still soft.
  5. Cool and enjoy: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. This resting time helps the filling set inside perfectly, so you get that creamy surprise with every bite.

Notes

  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes to prevent spreading and keep cookies thick and chewy.
  • Don’t overfill the cookies to avoid leaking during baking.
  • Press seams firmly but avoid stretching dough too thin for a good seal.
  • Use room temperature butter and cream cheese for better blending and smooth texture.
  • Remove cookies just before fully golden; they continue to set while cooling, preserving softness.
