How to Make Strawberry Cheesecake Cookies

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3: Cream the Butter and Sugars

In a large mixing bowl, beat softened butter with granulated and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2–3 minutes).

Step 4: Add Egg and Vanilla

Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.

Step 5: Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until a soft dough forms.

Step 6: Make the Cheesecake Filling

In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy.

Step 7: Assemble the Cookies

Scoop 1 tablespoon of cookie dough and flatten it slightly. Add 1/2 teaspoon of cheesecake filling and a small dollop of strawberry jam in the center. Cover with another bit of dough and seal the edges carefully.

Step 8: Bake

Place cookies on the baking sheet, leaving space between them. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until edges turn slightly golden.

Step 9: Cool and Drizzle

Let cookies cool completely before drizzling with melted white chocolate or extra jam.

Baking Tips

• Chill the dough for 30 minutes before shaping to prevent spreading.

• Use seedless strawberry jam for a smooth, glossy finish.

• Store cookies in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days — or freeze them for up to 2 months.
