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 unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chopped fresh or frozen strawberries
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Beat 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
Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes to help the cookies hold their shape.
Avoid overmixing to prevent tough, dense cookies.
Both fresh and frozen strawberries work well; drain excess moisture from frozen berries.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Freeze for up to 3 months.
