Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 cups chopped strawberries
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients until well combined.
- Fold in chopped strawberries.
- In another bowl, mix the softened cream cheese until smooth. Using a cookie scoop, scoop out cookie dough and flatten it slightly. Add a spoonful of cream cheese in the center and fold the dough around it, forming a ball.
- Place the cookie dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges of the cookies are golden brown.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened before using to ensure a smooth, easy filling.
- You can freeze the cookie dough balls before baking for later use. Just bake them directly from the freezer, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
- If you prefer, you can use other fruits, such as raspberries or blueberries, in place of the strawberries.
