Description
Soft and chewy cookies filled with creamy cheesecake and swirled with sweet strawberry preserves, creating a dessert that tastes like mini strawberry cheesecakes in cookie form.
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 cup strawberry preserves
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/3 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (for filling)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- In a large bowl, cream butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in egg, vanilla extract, and milk until combined.
- Gradually add dry ingredients to wet mixture and mix until dough forms. Chill for 30 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Scoop about 2 tablespoons of cookie dough and flatten slightly. Add 1 teaspoon of cheesecake filling and 1/2 teaspoon strawberry preserves in the center. Cover with another tablespoon of dough and seal edges.
- Place cookies on baking sheet 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 12–14 minutes, until edges are lightly golden. Let cool on the pan before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
- Chill dough for easier handling and to prevent spreading.
- Store cookies in the refrigerator due to cream cheese filling.
- For variety, try using raspberry or blueberry preserves instead of strawberry.
