Description
Strawberry Cheesecake Cookies combine the rich, creamy flavors of cheesecake with the fresh, fruity sweetness of strawberries. These soft, chewy cookies offer the perfect balance of tangy, sweet, and creamy flavors, reminiscent of a classic strawberry cheesecake.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
½ cup cream cheese, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for thicker cookies)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and cream cheese until smooth and fluffy. Add the granulated sugar and beat until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix until well incorporated.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until combined. If you prefer thicker cookies, add the cornstarch.
- Gently fold in the chopped strawberries, being careful not to overmix.
- Drop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers should remain soft.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For added sweetness, you can drizzle some white chocolate over the cooled cookies.
- If using frozen strawberries, be sure to thaw and drain them before adding them to the dough to prevent the cookies from becoming too soggy.
- If you’d like a richer flavor, use brown sugar instead of granulated sugar for a caramel-like taste.
- These cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
