Ingredients
Scale
For the Cookie Dough:
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Cheesecake Filling:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
For the Strawberry Filling:
- 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, diced

Instructions
Prepare the Strawberry Filling
- Make the Strawberry Sauce: In a small saucepan, combine the diced strawberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Heat over medium heat and stir occasionally until the mixture has thickened and the strawberries have softened (about 5-7 minutes).
- Cool: Set the strawberry mixture aside to cool completely while you prepare the other components.
Prepare the Cheesecake Filling
- Mix the Cheesecake Filling: In a medium mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, creating a light and fluffy filling.
- Chill: Place the cheesecake filling in the fridge while you prepare the cookie dough.
Prepare the Cookie Dough
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, until well combined.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until incorporated. Be careful not to overmix.
Assemble the Cookies
- Scoop Cookie Dough: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, scoop out about 1 tablespoon of cookie dough and roll it into a ball.
- Flatten the Dough: Use your fingers or the back of a spoon to flatten the dough slightly into a disk shape.
- Add the Cheesecake Filling: Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the cheesecake filling into the center of each flattened dough disk.
- Add Strawberry Filling: Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the cooled strawberry filling on top of the cheesecake.
- Seal the Cookies: Take another tablespoon of cookie dough and flatten it out. Place it on top of the filled dough, then pinch the edges together to seal the cookie.
- Bake: Place the stuffed cookies on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
