Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Cheesecake Filling:
  • 6 oz (170 g) cream cheese, cold
  • 3 tbsp (38 g) granulated white sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • For the Strawberry Jam:
  • 12 oz (340 g) fresh strawberries, hulled and finely diced
  • 1/4 cup (50 g) granulated white sugar
  • For the Cookies:
  • 2 3/4 cups (344 g) all purpose flour, spooned and leveled
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup (200 g) granulated white sugar
  • 1 cup (227 g) unsalted butter, very softened
  • 1 egg, at room temperature
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 1/4 cup (50 g) granulated white sugar, for rolling dough in

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a bowl, mix the cream cheese, 3 tbsp sugar, and vanilla until smooth to make the cheesecake filling.
  3. In another saucepan, combine the diced strawberries and 1/4 cup sugar to create the strawberry jam, cooking until the strawberries break down.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. In a separate bowl, cream the softened butter and 1 cup sugar until light and fluffy.
  6. Add the egg and 2 tsp vanilla to the butter mixture and mix well.
  7. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  8. Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes.
  9. Once chilled, scoop the dough and flatten it slightly, placing a small amount of cheesecake filling and strawberry jam in the center before folding the dough over.
  10. Roll the filled dough in the remaining sugar and place on a baking sheet.
  11. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
  12. Let cool before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese is cold for the best texture.
  • Chilling the dough helps prevent spreading during baking.
  • Feel free to adjust the amount of sugar in the strawberry jam based on the sweetness of the strawberries.
