Ingredients
  

Cookie Ingredients
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup strawberries, chopped Use fresh, ripe strawberries for best flavor.
Cheesecake Filling Ingredients
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened Make sure it’s at room temperature for a smooth mix.
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract For filling.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, mix softened butter and sugar together until smooth and creamy, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  3. Beat in the egg and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture and stir until just combined.
  6. Gently fold in the chopped strawberries until evenly distributed.
Cheesecake Filling
  1. In a separate bowl, blend softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth.
Assembly and Baking
  1. Take about a tablespoon of cookie dough, flatten it, and place a teaspoon of cheesecake filling in the center. Wrap the dough around it, reshaping into a ball.
  2. Arrange cookie balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spaced about 2 inches apart.
  3. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden. The centers may look soft but will firm up as they cool.
  4. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-5 days. For longer storage, freeze in a freezer-safe bag or container for up to 2-3 months.
