  • Author: Martha
  • Total Time: 1 hour

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
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

Prepare the Strawberry Filling

  1. 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).
  2. Cool: Set the strawberry mixture aside to cool completely while you prepare the other components.

Prepare the Cheesecake Filling

  1. Mix the Cheesecake Filling: In a medium mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  2. 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.
  3. Chill: Place the cheesecake filling in the fridge while you prepare the cookie dough.

Prepare the Cookie Dough

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, until well combined.
  5. Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until incorporated. Be careful not to overmix.

Assemble the Cookies

  1. Scoop Cookie Dough: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, scoop out about 1 tablespoon of cookie dough and roll it into a ball.
  2. Flatten the Dough: Use your fingers or the back of a spoon to flatten the dough slightly into a disk shape.
  3. Add the Cheesecake Filling: Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the cheesecake filling into the center of each flattened dough disk.
  4. Add Strawberry Filling: Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the cooled strawberry filling on top of the cheesecake.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
