  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 24 cookies 1x

Ingredients

Scale

For the Cookie Dough

  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg (room temperature)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Cheesecake Filling

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: Beat softened cream cheese with sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in finely chopped fresh strawberries to keep the fresh fruity burst in every bite.
  2. Make the Cookie Dough: Cream together softened butter and granulated sugar until fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing well. In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour and baking soda, then gradually incorporate into the wet ingredients until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms.
  3. Assemble the Cookies: Divide the dough into small balls. Flatten each ball gently in your palm, place a spoonful of the cheesecake filling with strawberry chunks in the center, then carefully wrap the dough completely around the filling, sealing all edges to enclose the filling fully.
  4. Bake: Place the stuffed cookie dough balls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet about two inches apart. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 12–15 minutes, or until the edges turn light golden brown. Allow cookies to cool on the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking to prevent spreading.
  • Use fresh strawberries for best flavor and texture in the filling.
  • Seal the dough edges carefully to avoid filling leakage during baking.
  • Remove cookies from the oven as soon as edges turn golden to keep them soft and tender.
  • Use room temperature ingredients such as butter, cream cheese, and egg for smooth mixing and ideal texture.
