Strawberry Cheesecake Cookies
These Strawberry Cheesecake Cookies feature a buttery sugar cookie dough, fresh and tangy strawberries, and dreamy cream cheese for all of the flavors of strawberry cheesecake in a handheld treat!
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tbsp vanilla
- 2 3/4 cup all purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 cup fresh strawberries
- 4 ounces cold cream cheese, cubed into 28 pieces
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.Add butter and both sugars to a stand mixer with the paddle attachment.Cream for 3 minutes until fluffy and lighter in color.
- Next add in one egg at a time mixing until incorporated.Add in vanilla.
- In a medium bowl combine the dry ingredients: flour, salt and baking soda. Stir to combine.Add the dry ingredients to the stand mixer on low speed. Mix until it's incorporated and only a few streaks of flour still remain.Fold in the strawberries by hand using a rubber spatula.
- Portion out tablespoon size cookies onto the prepared baking sheet. The dough will be a bit sticky that's ok!Place one cube of cream cheese into the center of each cookie. Cover the cream cheese with a little more cookie dough. Repeat with the remaining cookies.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes. I look for the edges of the cookies to be set then remove. The cookies will continue to cook on the baking sheet after they are removed from the oven.
