Ingredients

Scale

Cheesecake Filling:

  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Cookie Dough:

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup freeze-dried strawberries, crushed
  • 1/4 cup white chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Scoop out teaspoon-sized portions onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Make the Cookie Dough: Cream together butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla. In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually mix dry ingredients into wet, then fold in strawberries and white chocolate.
  3. Assemble the Cookies: Preheat oven to 350°F. Scoop dough, flatten into a disc, place a cheesecake filling portion in the center, cover with more dough, and seal edges.
  4. Bake the Cookies: Bake for 12-14 minutes at 350°F. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

  • You can customize these cookies by adding different mix-ins like nuts or dark chocolate chips.
  • For a quicker version, you can use store-bought cookie dough instead of making it from scratch.
