Cookie Dough
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, diced
- Prepare the Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar. Beat together until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the all-purpose flour and mix until just combined to form a soft dough. Carefully fold in the diced fresh strawberries ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Shape Cookies: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Using a spoon or cookie scoop, portion the dough into small mounds about an inch apart on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Bake the Cookies: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden and the center is set but still soft. Be careful not to overbake to maintain a tender texture.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve and enjoy your strawberry cheesecake cookies!
Notes
- Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor and texture.
- Do not overmix the dough as it can result in tough cookies.
- These cookies are best enjoyed within 2 days but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature.
- For an extra touch, drizzle melted white chocolate over cooled cookies.
