Ingredients

Scale

For the Cookies:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened

  • 1 cup granulated sugar

  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed

  • 2 large eggs

  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • 1 cup freeze-dried strawberries, crushed

For the Cheesecake Filling:

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened

  • ¼ cup powdered sugar

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • ¼ cup strawberry jam or puree

Crunch Topping (Optional):

  • 1 cup crushed graham crackers


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling:

    • In a small bowl, beat softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla, and strawberry jam until smooth. Chill for at least 30 minutes.

  2. Make the Cookie Dough:

    • In a large mixing bowl, cream butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until fluffy (about 3–4 minutes).

    • Beat in eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla extract.

  3. Mix Dry Ingredients:

    • In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.

    • Gradually stir dry ingredients into wet mixture until just combined.

    • Fold in crushed freeze-dried strawberries.

  4. Assemble the Cookies:

    • Scoop 1 tablespoon of dough, flatten slightly.

    • Place about 1 teaspoon chilled cheesecake filling in center.

    • Cover with another flattened tablespoon of dough and roll into a ball to seal.

  5. Add Crunch Topping (Optional):

    • Roll each cookie dough ball in crushed graham crackers for extra crunch.

  6. Bake:

    • Place cookies on a parchment-lined baking sheet about 2 inches apart.

    • Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 12–15 minutes, until edges are golden.

    • Cool on baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

Don’t skip chilling the cheesecake filling—it prevents leaking during baking.
Freeze-dried strawberries add concentrated strawberry flavor and crunch.
Store cookies in the fridge for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.
