Strawberry Cheesecake Cookies
A Soft, Creamy Cookie with a Fruity Surprise Inside
Strawberry Cheesecake Cookies bring together the best of two beloved desserts: the rich, tangy creaminess of cheesecake and the comforting chew of a homemade cookie. Each cookie hides a smooth cheesecake center and bursts with strawberry flavor, making them perfect for special occasions, bake sales, or whenever you want a bakery-style treat at home. Below is a clear, step-by-step guide that walks you through the entire process, starting with the cheesecake filling.
Ingredients
For the Cheesecake Filling
- 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Strawberry Cookie Dough
- ¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup chopped fresh strawberries or freeze-dried strawberries
- Optional: pink or red food coloring for visual appeal
Step-by-Step Method
Step 1: Prepare the Cheesecake Filling
In a medium bowl, add the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat the mixture until completely smooth and creamy, with no lumps. This step is important for a silky center.
Using a teaspoon, scoop small portions of the cheesecake filling onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. You should get about 12–15 small dollops. Place the tray in the freezer for at least 30–45 minutes, or until the filling is firm. Freezing makes the filling easier to wrap inside the cookie dough later.
