Ingredients

01 1 cup of unsalted butter, softened, gives these cookies a tender and rich texture.
02 1 cup of white sugar adds just the right level of sweetness.
03 Use 1/2 cup of tightly packed brown sugar for a chewy texture and a hint of caramel.
04 2 large eggs provide moisture and structure to the cookies.
05 1 teaspoon vanilla extract makes the flavors pop.
06 2 1/2 cups of plain flour as the base for your dough.
07 1 teaspoon baking soda gets the cookies to puff up.
08 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder helps give them a good rise.
09 A pinch of salt—1/2 teaspoon—to keep the flavors balanced.
10 1 cup of white chocolate chips adds creamy sweetness.
11 1 cup of crushed freeze-dried or diced fresh strawberries for an amazing fruity flavor.
12 8 ounces of softened cream cheese to make a rich, velvety center.
13 1/2 cup powdered sugar to bring sweetness to the filling.
14 Add 1 extra teaspoon of vanilla extract for another layer of flavor in the filling.
15 Up to 1 tablespoon of milk (optional) if your filling feels too thick.

Steps

Step 01

Blend together softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth in a bowl. If it's too thick, mix in a splash of milk until it spreads easily. Put it aside for later.

Step 02

With a mixer, beat the softened butter and both sugars until fluffy. Add one egg at a time, mixing each in, then stir in the vanilla. In another bowl, mix the flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder together. Slowly work the dry ingredients into the wet ones. When combined, fold in the white chocolate chips and strawberry bits.

Step 03

Set your oven at 350°F (175°C) and get a baking sheet ready with parchment paper. Take about a tablespoon of dough, flatten it in your hand, and add a spoonful of cream cheese filling in the middle. Wrap the dough around the filling, roll it into a ball, and place it on the tray. Leave space between them—around 2 inches is best.

Step 04

Bake your cookies for 12-15 minutes. They're ready when the edges are gold, though the middle might still look soft. Let them cool on the tray for a bit before moving to a rack.

Step 05

Enjoy these warm or let them cool—you'll love the creamy filling and fruity flavor!

Notes

  1. These treats have rich strawberry flavor thanks to the cream cheese filling and freeze-dried strawberries.
  2. Let them cool off a bit; this lets the centers set perfectly before serving.
  3. Try freeze-dried strawberries—they're packed with flavor and won't make the dough too wet.
