🛒 Ingredients

For the Cookie Dough:

½ cup unsalted butter (softened)
½ cup granulated sugar
½ cup brown sugar (packed)
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
½ tsp baking soda
¼ tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt

For the Cheesecake Filling:

4 oz cream cheese (softened)
2 tbsp granulated sugar
½ tsp vanilla extract

For the Strawberry Mix:

½ cup freeze-dried strawberries (crushed) OR ⅓ cup fresh strawberries (diced small)

For the Topping (Optional but Recommended!):

Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Graham cracker crumbs (for extra crunch)


👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

1️⃣ Make the Cheesecake Filling

  1. In a small bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with the granulated sugar and vanilla extract until smooth.
  2. Using a spoon or small scoop, form 12 small dollops of the cheesecake mixture and place them on a parchment-lined plate.
  3. Freeze for at least 30 minutes (this makes stuffing the cookies easier!).

2️⃣ Prepare the Cookie Dough

  1. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  2. Add the egg and vanilla extract, and mix until fully combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until a smooth dough forms.
  5. Gently fold in the freeze-dried strawberries or fresh strawberries.

3️⃣ Assemble the Cookies

  1. Scoop about 2 tablespoons of cookie dough and flatten it slightly in your hand.
  2. Place a frozen cheesecake dollop in the center.
  3. Take another smaller piece of dough, place it on top, and seal the edges, making sure the cheesecake is completely enclosed.
  4. Roll the dough ball lightly between your palms to smooth it out.
  5. Place the stuffed cookie balls on a lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

4️⃣ Bake to Perfection

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked – that’s okay! They will continue to set as they cool.
  3. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

5️⃣ Add the Finishing Touches

  1. Once cooled, dust the cookies with powdered sugar for extra sweetness.
  2. Sprinkle graham cracker crumbs on top to give them that classic cheesecake crust flavor.

📌 Tips for the Best Strawberry Cheesecake Cookies

💡 Use Freeze-Dried Strawberries for Intense Flavor – Unlike fresh strawberries, freeze-dried strawberries won’t add excess moisture, making them perfect for baking. If using fresh strawberries, chop them very small and pat them dry before adding them to the dough.

💡 Chill the Dough for Thicker Cookies – If you prefer thick, bakery-style cookies, refrigerate the assembled cookies for 30 minutes before baking. This prevents them from spreading too much.

💡 Don’t Skip the Freezing Step for the Filling – If the cheesecake filling is too soft, it will ooze out while baking. Freezing ensures that the filling stays creamy and delicious inside the cookie.

💡 For an Extra Cheesecake Experience – Drizzle the cookies with melted white chocolate and a few extra strawberry crumbs for a gorgeous presentation.
