Soft, chewy cookies with creamy cheesecake filling and bursts of strawberry flavor, perfect for parties or special occasions.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups (310g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup (170g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
  • ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup (120g) strawberry jam (or fresh strawberry puree)
  • Optional: A few drops of red food coloring for a more vibrant swirl

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes). Beat in the egg and vanilla extract, then gradually add the dry ingredients until combined.
  4. In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
  5. Scoop out a tablespoon of cookie dough and flatten it slightly in your palm. Add a small dollop of cheesecake filling in the center, then cover it with another flattened scoop of dough. Seal the edges to ensure the filling doesn’t leak out.
  6. Use a small spoon to swirl the strawberry jam on top of each cookie. For a more vibrant look, add a drop of food coloring to the jam before swirling.
  7. Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart. Bake for 12-14 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Let them cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

[‘Use room temperature ingredients for smoother blending.’, ‘Chill the dough for 15-20 minutes if it feels too soft.’, ‘Seal the edges of the cookies to prevent filling leaks.’, ‘Slightly underbake for a soft, chewy texture.’]
