Ingredients
Scale
Cookies:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 1½ cups white chocolate chips
- ½ cup freeze-dried strawberries, crushed
Cream Cheese Filling:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Cookies: In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until combined. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients until just combined. Fold in the white chocolate chips and crushed freeze-dried strawberries.
- Cream Cheese Filling: In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Scoop small portions of the cream cheese mixture and freeze for about 30 minutes until firm.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop about 2 tablespoons of cookie dough, flatten it, and place a frozen cream cheese ball in the center. Wrap the dough around the filling and seal completely. Place the stuffed cookies onto the baking sheet, spaced a few inches apart. Bake for 12–14 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
- Make sure the cream cheese filling is firm before stuffing the cookies to prevent it from leaking during baking.
- Store cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for best freshness.
