Instructions
Instructions
- Prepare filling: Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Scoop small teaspoon-sized portions onto parchment paper and freeze for 30–45 minutes until firm.
- Preheat oven: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Cream butter and sugars: In a separate bowl, beat butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla; mix well.
- Combine: Gradually add dry ingredients to wet mixture. Fold in chopped strawberries and white chocolate chips if using.
- Assemble cookies: Scoop 1–2 tablespoons of dough, flatten slightly, place a frozen cheesecake filling in center, and cover with more dough. Seal edges well.
- Bake: Place on prepared baking sheet and bake 12–15 minutes, until edges are lightly golden.
- Cool on baking sheet 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Refrigerate leftovers due to cream cheese filling.
Notes
Pat strawberries dry to avoid excess moisture in the dough. Keep cheesecake filling frozen until ready to use for easier assembly. Store cookies in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
