Description

Soft Strawberry Cheesecake Cookies are delightful treats that combine the rich flavor of cheesecake with soft, fluffy cookie dough, featuring a fruity strawberry jam center and a sweet glaze on top.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pink food coloring (optional)
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup strawberry jam
  • Pink glaze (made with powdered sugar and a few drops of milk)
  • Sparkling sugar for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. Cream the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy, then add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth. If desired, add a few drops of pink food coloring.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
  5. Blend the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a separate bowl until smooth and creamy, and spoon the strawberry jam separately.
  6. Scoop out about a tablespoon of cookie dough, flatten it, and place a small spoonful of the cream cheese mixture and a dab of strawberry jam in the center. Wrap the dough around the filling and seal the edges.
  7. Place filled cookies on the baking sheet an inch apart and bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are lightly golden. Allow cookies to cool before glazing.
  8. Drizzle with pink glaze and sprinkle with sparkling sugar for a finishing touch.

Notes

  • Use softened butter and cream cheese for easier mixing and a creamier texture.
  • Chill the dough if it’s too soft to work with to prevent spreading.
  • Experiment with fillings like raspberry jam or lemon curd for a unique twist.
