Ingredients
Scale
Cookies:
- 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- ¾ cup brown sugar (packed)
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- ½ cup freeze-dried strawberries (crushed)
Cheesecake Filling:
- 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Cheesecake Filling: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Scoop out small dollops (about 1 teaspoon each) onto the baking sheet and freeze for at least 30 minutes.
- Cookie Dough: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until fluffy. Beat in the eggs and vanilla. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Fold in the white chocolate chips and crushed freeze-dried strawberries.
- Assembly: Scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough and flatten slightly. Place a frozen cheesecake ball in the center and wrap the dough around it, sealing completely. Place the stuffed dough balls on the baking sheet and chill for 30 minutes.
- Baking: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the cookies for 12–14 minutes or until the edges are golden. Cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
- These cookies freeze well after baking.
- Make sure the cheesecake filling is fully enclosed to prevent leaks.
- You can substitute freeze-dried raspberries for a tart variation.
