Instructions

Prepare the cheesecake filling by beating cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Scoop into 10–12 small mounds and freeze for at least 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture and beat until combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually mix dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
Gently fold in the finely diced strawberries.
Scoop dough into 10–12 large balls (about 2 tablespoons each). Flatten half and place a frozen cheesecake filling mound in the center. Cover with another dough ball and seal the edges.
Chill the stuffed cookie dough balls for 15 minutes.
Bake for 13–17 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden and the tops are set.
Let cookies rest on the tray for 10–15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Add white chocolate chips for extra sweetness.

Swap strawberries with raspberries for a tangier flavor.

Mix in 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder for a chocolate-strawberry variation.

Make mini cookies (about 16) and bake for 10–12 minutes.

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 3–4 days or freeze for longer storage.

Reheat cookies in the microwave for 10–12 seconds to restore softness.
