Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
8 oz cream cheese, softened
½ cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for frosting)
½ cup heavy whipping cream
½ cup all-purpose flour (for crumble)
¼ cup brown sugar
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup fresh strawberries, diced
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream softened butter with granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Gradually mix in flour, baking powder, and salt until a soft dough forms.
- Roll dough into 12 balls, flatten slightly, and place on prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes until edges are just set. Let cool completely on pan.
- For the frosting, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add heavy cream and whip until light and fluffy.
- For the crumble topping, mix flour and brown sugar in a bowl. Stir in melted butter until crumbly. Bake on a sheet at 350°F for about 5 minutes or until golden.
- Once cookies are cool, frost each with cheesecake frosting, sprinkle with crumble, and top with diced strawberries.
Notes
Dice strawberries just before serving to prevent sogginess.
Store frosted cookies in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Freeze unfrosted cookies in advance and decorate when ready to serve.
Add lemon zest to the frosting for a tangy variation.
Use other berries like raspberries or blueberries as seasonal swaps.
