Description
Strawberry Crunch Cheesecake Stuffed Cookies are irresistible treats that combine the flavors of strawberry cheesecake and cookies, creating a delightful dessert.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, diced
- 1 cup crushed strawberry shortcake cookies (for crunch)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and egg, mixing until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Gently fold in the diced strawberries.
- Take a tablespoon of cookie dough and flatten it in your palm. Place a teaspoon of the cheesecake filling in the center, then fold the dough around the filling to form a ball. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
- Roll each ball in the crushed strawberry shortcake cookies to coat. Place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- These cookies are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- For a richer flavor, try adding a teaspoon of almond extract to the cookie dough.
- You can also substitute the strawberries with raspberries or blueberries for a different fruity twist.
