Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips (optional)
For the Cheesecake Filling:
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons strawberry jam or puree
Instructions
- In a small bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and strawberry jam until smooth. Scoop into small dollops (about 1 teaspoon each) onto a parchment-lined plate and freeze for 30 minutes.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla, and mix until combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until a dough forms. Fold in white chocolate chips if using.
- Scoop about 2 tablespoons of cookie dough and flatten it. Place a frozen cheesecake center in the middle and wrap the dough around to seal completely.
- Place cookies on a lined baking sheet and chill in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake cookies for 12-14 minutes or until edges are golden and centers are set.
- Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Freeze the cheesecake filling well to prevent it from leaking during baking.
- You can substitute strawberry jam with raspberry or blueberry for variety.
- Store cookies in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
- Reheat briefly in the microwave for a warm, gooey center.
