These Strawberry Cheesecake Cookies combine chewy sugar cookies with creamy cheesecake filling and a burst of fresh strawberry jam. A perfect balance of sweet and creamy, these cookies are a delightful treat for any occasion.

Ingredients

6 oz (170 g) cream cheese, cold

3 tbsp (38 g) granulated white sugar

½ tsp vanilla extract

12 oz (340 g) fresh strawberries, hulled and finely diced

¼ cup (50 g) granulated white sugar (for jam)

2 ¾ cups (344 g) all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled

½ tsp baking powder

½ tsp baking soda

½ tsp salt

1 cup (200 g) granulated white sugar

1 cup (227 g) unsalted butter, very softened

1 large egg, at room temperature

2 tsp vanilla extract

¼ cup (50 g) granulated white sugar, for rolling dough in

Instructions

  1. For the Cheesecake Filling: Line a small cookie sheet with parchment paper. Beat the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Scoop the cheesecake filling into 18 portions (about 2 tsp each) and freeze them until completely frozen.
  2. For the Strawberry Jam: In a medium pot, cook the diced strawberries and sugar over medium heat for 45 minutes, mashing halfway through. Stir until thickened, then chill in the fridge.
  3. For the Cookies: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Cream the butter and sugar together until fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, then mix until smooth.
  4. Mix the dry ingredients into the butter mixture. Divide the dough, fold in the strawberry jam, and shape each portion into a flattened disc with a frozen cheesecake filling in the center. Enclose the filling with dough and roll in sugar.
  5. Bake the cookies in batches for 11-12 minutes, until golden. Shape the cookies into circles using a cookie cutter and let them cool on a wire rack.

Notes

For a variation, try using raspberry, blueberry, or mixed berry jam for a twist.

Add lemon zest to the cheesecake filling for extra flavor.

Make gluten-free by using a gluten-free flour blend.
