Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Cheesecake Filling

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup sour cream

Fruit

  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, finely chopped


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set this mixture aside for later incorporation.
  3. Cream butter and sugars: Using a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light, fluffy, and well combined.
  4. Add egg and vanilla: Incorporate the egg and vanilla extract into the butter mixture, and continue mixing until fully blended.
  5. Combine dry and wet ingredients: Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined to avoid overworking the dough.
  6. Fold in strawberries: Gently fold the finely chopped fresh strawberries into the cookie dough, distributing them evenly.
  7. Prepare cheesecake filling: In a separate bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and sour cream until the filling is smooth and creamy.
  8. Shape cookies and fill centers: Drop spoonfuls of the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly. Using the back of a spoon or your fingertip, create a small indentation in the center of each cookie.
  9. Fill with cheesecake mixture: Add about a teaspoon of the cheesecake filling into each indentation, making sure not to overfill.
  10. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies turn golden brown.
  11. Cool cookies: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and transfer the cookies onto a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese and butter are softened at room temperature for easier mixing.
  • Fresh strawberries add the best flavor, but frozen berries can be used if thawed and drained well.
  • Do not overmix the dough to keep cookies tender.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature or refrigerate for longer freshness.
