Make Cream Cheese Filling
In a small bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Scoop into small dollops (about 1 tablespoon each) onto a parchment-lined tray and freeze for at least 1 hour, or until firm. -
Prepare Cookie Dough
In a large bowl, mix the melted butter, softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Add the egg and mix until combined. -
Combine Dry Ingredients
Add the flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir until just combined. Gently fold in the chopped strawberries. Chill the dough for 20–30 minutes if too soft. -
Assemble Cookies
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough, flatten it, and place a frozen cream cheese ball in the center. Wrap the dough around the filling, sealing it completely. -
Bake
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place cookies on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spaced apart. Bake for 13–15 minutes or until the edges are set and just starting to turn golden.
-
Cool
Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Make sure the cream cheese filling is frozen solid before stuffing the cookies to prevent leaking
Pat strawberries dry with a paper towel before adding to dough to avoid excess moisture.
Cookies are best enjoyed the day they’re made but can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
