Description

These Strawberry Cheesecake Stuffed Cookies are soft, buttery sugar cookies filled with a rich cheesecake center and fresh strawberries. Each bite is creamy, sweet, and full of texture—perfect for spring or anytime you crave a twist on a classic treat.


Ingredients

Scale

4 oz cream cheese

1/3 cup powdered sugar

1/2 cup unsalted butter

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/4 cup brown sugar

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

3/4 cup fresh strawberries


Instructions

1. Mix the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar in a small bowl until smooth. Drop 1-teaspoon mounds onto a parchment-lined tray and freeze for 30 minutes.

2. Dice the strawberries and pat them dry with a paper towel to remove moisture.

3. Cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy.

4. Add the egg and vanilla extract. Mix until combined.

5. In a separate bowl, whisk flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt.

6. Gradually add dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Gently fold in the strawberries.

7. Scoop 2 tablespoons of dough and flatten it. Place one frozen cheesecake mound in the center. Wrap and seal the dough around the filling.

8. Chill the stuffed dough balls for 20 minutes in the fridge.

9. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 12–14 minutes or until edges are lightly golden.

10. Let cool on the tray for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.


Notes

Always freeze the cream cheese filling first to keep the center intact during baking.

Dry your strawberries thoroughly—extra moisture causes cookies to spread.

Chilling the assembled cookies before baking helps keep them thick and prevents spreading.
