These soft and chewy strawberry cheesecake cookies combine the rich flavors of cream cheese with sweet strawberry pieces for a decadent, dessert-inspired treat.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
4 oz cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup freeze-dried strawberries, chopped
1/2 cup white chocolate chips (optional)
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, cream cheese, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
Fold in the chopped freeze-dried strawberries and white chocolate chips (if using).
Scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing the cookies about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
