Ingredients
  

Cookie Ingredients

  • 1 cup granulated sugar Gives the cookie that classic sweet baseline; don’t skimp unless you like bland.
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened Use a good-quality unsalted butter for the best flavor.
  • 1 piece egg Binds the dough and adds structure.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Brings everything together.
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour The backbone of the cookie.
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder Gives the cookies a slight lift.
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt Balances sweetness.

Filling Ingredients

  • 1 cup cream cheese, softened Full-fat gives the best creaminess.
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar Keeps the filling smooth; powdered dissolves without grit.
  • 1/2 cup strawberries, pureed Fresh or thawed frozen works. Prefer fresh when in season.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, cream together the granulated sugar and softened butter until smooth.
  • Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until incorporated.
  • In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • Gradually add the dry mix to the creamed mixture until just blended.
  • Drop spoonfuls of dough onto your prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart, and press a small indentation in the center of each cookie dough ball.
  • In a separate bowl, mix the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and strawberry puree until smooth.
  • Fill the indentation of each cookie with the cheesecake mixture.
  • Bake for 12–15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
  • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

Notes

Chill your cream cheese for easier handling. Use fresh strawberries for best flavor. Don’t overmix the dough.
