Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Add-ins

  • 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, diced
  • 1/4 cup cream cheese, cubed

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt, stirring them together well to ensure even distribution.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a separate large bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar using a mixer or whisk until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add Egg and Vanilla: Add the egg and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture and beat until fully incorporated and smooth.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until a soft dough forms without overmixing.
  6. Fold in Strawberries and Cream Cheese: Carefully fold the diced fresh strawberries and cubed cream cheese into the dough to distribute them evenly without breaking up the chunks too much.
  7. Shape Dough on Baking Sheet: Drop tablespoon-sized portions of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow room for spreading.
  8. Bake the Cookies: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set but still soft.
  9. Cool the Cookies: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely, which helps them firm up and avoids breakage.

Notes

  • Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor and texture in the cookies.
  • Keep cream cheese chilled before cutting into small cubes to prevent it from melting too quickly into the dough.
  • If you prefer a sweeter cookie, you can add an extra tablespoon of sugar to the dough.
  • Make sure not to overbake; cookies should be soft in the center when removed from the oven as they will continue to firm up while cooling.
  • Storing cookies in an airtight container at room temperature will keep them fresh for up to 3 days or in the fridge for about a week.
