🍓 Strawberry Cheesecake Crumble Cookies Recipe
Ingredients
For the Cookie Base:
-
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
-
1 cup brown sugar, packed
-
½ cup granulated sugar
-
2 large eggs
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
2¾ cups all-purpose flour
-
1¼ cups graham cracker crumbs (about 10 full sheets)
-
1 tsp baking powder
-
½ tsp baking soda
-
½ tsp salt
For the Cheesecake Frosting:
-
8 oz cream cheese, softened
-
½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
-
2 cups powdered sugar
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
For the Strawberry Topping:
-
1 cup strawberries, chopped
-
2 tbsp granulated sugar
-
1 tsp lemon juice
-
1 tsp cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
Instructions
1. Make the Cookies:
-
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
-
In a large bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until fluffy.
-
Beat in eggs and vanilla.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, graham cracker crumbs, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
-
Gradually add dry ingredients to wet, mixing until fully combined.
-
Scoop large balls of dough (about ¼ cup each), roll slightly, and flatten to about ½-inch thick.
-
Bake for 11–13 minutes or until edges are golden. The centers may look slightly underdone—that’s okay!
-
Cool completely on a wire rack.
2. Make the Frosting:
-
Beat cream cheese and butter until smooth and fluffy.
-
Add vanilla and powdered sugar; beat until creamy. Chill slightly if needed for easier piping.
3. Make the Strawberry Topping:
-
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice.
-
Simmer 5–7 minutes until berries break down. Add cornstarch if you want it thicker.
-
Let cool completely.
4. Assemble:
-
Pipe or spread a generous layer of cheesecake frosting on each cooled cookie.
-
Spoon strawberry topping over the center of the frosting.
-
Refrigerate for 10–15 minutes to help them set before serving.
🧁 Tips:
-
These cookies are large and rich—perfect for sharing or gifting.
-
For a shortcut, use strawberry pie filling instead of homemade topping.
-
Store in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
