Ingredients
Scale
Cookies:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup freeze-dried strawberries, crushed
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
Cheesecake Filling:
- 8 ounces cream cheese, cold and cut into small cubes
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream butter and sugars: In a large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs and vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla.
- Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- Combine wet and dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Add mix-ins: Fold in the crushed freeze-dried strawberries and white chocolate chips.
- Assemble cookies: Scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough, flatten slightly, and place a small cube of cream cheese in the center. Wrap the dough around the cream cheese to seal and roll into a ball.
- Bake: Place on the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Bake for 11–13 minutes until the edges are lightly golden.
- Cool and serve: Allow to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- For extra strawberry flavor, add 1/4 teaspoon strawberry extract.
