Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup of softened butter, 1 cup of granulated sugar, and 1 cup of brown sugar. Mix until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.

  4. In another bowl, whisk together 3 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
  6. Fold in 1 cup of chopped fresh strawberries until evenly distributed.
Cheesecake Filling
  1. In a separate bowl, mix together 1 cup of softened cream cheese, 1/2 cup of powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth.
Assembling Cookies
  1. Take a scoop of cookie dough, make a small indentation in the center, and fill with the cheesecake filling. Seal with more dough on top.
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the filled cookies on it with space in between.
  3. Bake for 12-15 minutes until the edges are golden brown.
  4. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
