Delicious cookies that combine the flavors of strawberry and cheesecake, soft and chewy with a creamy filling.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup Butter, softened
- ¼ cup Brown sugar, packed
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 large Egg, room temperature
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon Strawberry extract
- 1 teaspoon Red or pink food coloring (optional)
- 2½ cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- ½ teaspoon Baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon Salt (omit if using salted butter)
- 1 cup Cream cheese, softened (for filling)
- ⅔ cup Powdered sugar (for filling)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract (for filling)
- About 1 cup Granulated sugar (for coating)
Instructions
- Prepare Cheesecake Filling: In a bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Drop 1–2 teaspoon dollops onto a parchment-lined tray and freeze for 30–60 minutes.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In another bowl, beat the softened butter with brown and granulated sugars until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Mix in the egg, vanilla, strawberry extract, and food coloring until fully combined.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Mix in the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt on low speed until just combined. The dough should be thick and not sticky.
- Stuff Cookies: Flatten about 2 tablespoons of dough, place a frozen cheesecake dollop in the center, and seal it completely. Roll into a smooth ball and coat it in granulated sugar.
- Bake: Bake the cookies at 350°F for 10–12 minutes until the edges are set and the centers are soft. Allow to cool completely on the baking sheet so the filling can firm up.
Notes
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. They can be frozen for longer storage.
