Ingredients
Scale
For the filling:
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons strawberry jam
For the cookie dough:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- ½ cup freeze-dried strawberries, crushed
Instructions
- Prepare the filling: In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and strawberry jam until smooth. Scoop small dollops (about 1 teaspoon) onto a parchment-lined plate and freeze for 30 minutes until firm.
- Make the cookie dough: In a large bowl, beat the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla, and mix until combined. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Fold in the white chocolate chips and crushed freeze-dried strawberries.
- Bake the cookies: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper. Scoop 2 tablespoons of dough, flatten it in your hand, and place a frozen cream cheese center in the middle. Fold the dough around it and roll into a ball, sealing the edges. Place dough balls on the baking sheet, spaced 2 inches apart, and bake for 12–14 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden and centers are set. Let cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
- Keep the cream cheese filling frozen until ready to stuff for easier handling.
- Store cookies in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
