🍓🍪 Strawberry Cheesecake Stuffed Cookies
Servings: About 12 large cookies
Prep Time: 20 min | Bake Time: 12–15 min
Ingredients:
For the Cookie Dough:
- 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (100g) brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups (315g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
For the Strawberry Cheesecake Filling:
- 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
- 1/3 cup (40g) powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup (75g) fresh strawberries, finely chopped
- 1 tsp lemon juice (optional, for brightness)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Filling:
In a bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in chopped strawberries and lemon juice if using. Refrigerate while you make the cookie dough. - Make the Cookie Dough:
In a large bowl, cream together butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until fluffy.
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well. Stir in vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to wet ingredients until just combined. - Assemble Cookies:
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of cookie dough and flatten it slightly in your hand. Place about 1 tablespoon of cheesecake filling in the center, then fold cookie dough around it and seal completely. Roll gently into a ball.
Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart. - Bake:
Bake for 12–15 minutes or until edges are golden but centers still look slightly soft.
Let cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire rack to cool completely.
Tips:
- For extra strawberry flavor, add a few freeze-dried strawberry bits to the filling or dough.
- If you want a fruitier twist, swap strawberries with raspberries or blueberries!
- Serve chilled or at room temperature for best creamy texture.
