Ingredients
Scale
Cookies:
- 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup freeze-dried strawberries (crushed)
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
Cheesecake Filling:
- 6 ounces cream cheese (softened)
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Cheesecake Filling: In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Scoop teaspoon-sized amounts of the cheesecake mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for 30 minutes.
- Cookies: In a large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Fold in crushed freeze-dried strawberries and white chocolate chips.
- Scoop about 2 tablespoons of cookie dough, flatten it in your palm, and place a frozen cheesecake filling ball in the center. Wrap the dough around the filling and roll into a ball. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and repeat with remaining dough. Chill the filled cookie dough balls for 20–30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Bake the cookies for 12–14 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Make sure the cheesecake filling is well frozen before stuffing the cookies to avoid leakage.
- Store cookies in the fridge for a soft and creamy center.
