Description
Baking up a batch of decadent Strawberry Cheesecake Cookies is like taking a delightful trip to dessert heaven. These cookies combine the rich, creamy flavors of classic cheesecake with the refreshing burst of juicy strawberries – all wrapped up in a perfectly soft and buttery cookie.
Ingredients
- 1 cup cream cheese
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chopped strawberries
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Cream the softened butter and cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
3. Beat in the granulated sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined.
5. Gently fold in the chopped fresh or frozen strawberries, and the white chocolate chips if using.
6. Drop spoonfuls of the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
7. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Refrigerating the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes can help the cookies hold their shape better during baking.
Be careful not to overmix the dough, as this can lead to tough, dense cookies.
Both fresh and frozen strawberries work well in this recipe, but make sure to drain any excess moisture from frozen berries before adding them to the dough.
