Description
As a busy mom, I know how precious time can be, especially when it comes to whipping up something sweet. That’s why I adore these Strawberry Cheesecake Cookies! They’re the perfect blend of creamy cheesecake and fresh strawberries, all wrapped up in a soft, chewy cookie.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1 package cream cheese (8 oz), softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, chopped or mashed
- A pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, cream cheese, and sugar until light and fluffy. This may take about 2-3 minutes with an electric mixer.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, beating until fully combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined.
- Fold in the chopped or mashed strawberries, being careful not to overmix the dough. The strawberries should be evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Scoop the dough using a tablespoon or cookie scoop and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Leave about 2 inches of space between each cookie to allow for spreading.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers are slightly firm to the touch.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For best results, use room temperature ingredients.
- Store cookies in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
- These cookies can be frozen for up to 3 months.
