🧾 Ingredients:
For the Cookie Dough:
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
½ cup granulated sugar
½ cup brown sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
½ tsp baking soda
¼ tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
For the Cheesecake Filling:
4 oz cream cheese, softened
¼ cup powdered sugar
½ tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp finely chopped fresh strawberries (drained)
👩🍳 Instructions:
Prepare the cheesecake filling:
In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and chopped strawberries. Stir until smooth. Place the mixture in the fridge to chill while you make the cookie dough.
Make the cookie dough:
In a large bowl, beat together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
Assemble the stuffed cookies:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Take a spoonful of cookie dough and flatten it slightly into a disc. Place about 1 tablespoon of the cheesecake filling in the center. Gently fold the cookie dough around the filling and roll it into a ball. Place the stuffed cookie dough balls on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the cookies:
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the cookies have puffed up. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve:
Once the cookies are completely cool, serve them up! These strawberry cheesecake stuffed cookies are perfect for any occasion, offering a sweet, creamy, and delicious surprise inside.
🍽️ Enjoy!
The creamy cheesecake filling paired with the soft cookie dough and fresh strawberry pieces is a winning combination. Enjoy every bite! 😋
