Description
Soft, chewy cookies bursting with fresh strawberry bits and a creamy cheesecake flavor, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
- 4 oz (115g) cream cheese, softened
- 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups (160g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, diced
Instructions
- Wash and dice the strawberries into small pieces. Set them aside on a paper towel to absorb excess moisture.
- In a large bowl, cream together butter and cream cheese until smooth. Add granulated sugar and beat until fluffy. Mix in egg and vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms.
- Gently fold in the diced strawberries using a spatula. Be careful not to overmix.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up the dough.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Scoop the dough into tablespoon-sized balls and place them on the baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Chill the dough to prevent spreading and ensure chewy cookies. Pat strawberries dry to avoid excess moisture in the dough.
