How to make this Easy Strawberry Cheesecake Cookies Recipe

I am ALL ABOUT Strawberry desserts! Making fresh and delicious treats are one of favorite things to do all Summer long! And these Strawberry Cheesecake Cookies are packed with delicious strawberry flavor – inside and out! 

First, start by making the strawberry filling. Mix together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, strawberry sauce, and vanilla.

Chill in the refrigerator for 45 minutes (at least) while you make the cookies.

For the Strawberry Cheesecake Cookies, combine the butter and sugar together, then add the egg and vanilla.

Next, mix in the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda). Add in about 2 tablespoons of Strawberry Sauce and fold in gently, but not entirely.

Chill the dough in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.

Now, use a cookie scoop to make cookie dough balls. Flatten the middle of one dough ball and add 1/2 teaspoon of Strawberry Cheesecake Filling on top. Place another cookie dough ball on top and seal the edges around to enclose the cheesecake filling inside.

Place the cookie dough balls in the freezer for about 10 minutes, and then bake at 350 degrees for 13-14 minutes.

To finish, once the cookies are done baking, allow them to cool completely on the cookie sheet. YUM!

How to make Strawberry Sauce

This Homemade Strawberry Sauce is SUPER easy and the perfect addition to cookies, cakes, and desserts! It’s one my absolute favorites!

First, add the strawberries, sugar, and water to a saucepan and heat until boiling. Simmer on LOW for 10 minutes and mash the strawberries.

Next, remove from heat and stir in the vanilla. Let the sauce cool before using it in more recipes!

What is the golden rule in baking Strawberry Cheesecake Cookies?

Chilling your dough is of my best tips for baking Strawberry Cheesecake Cookies! No one wants their cookies to spread while baking, so chilling your dough is a GREAT way to help with that!

I refrigerate my dough before making the dough balls and I also freeze the dough balls for a few minutes just before I bake them. Resulting in chewy and soft cookies every time!

What is the secret to soft Strawberry Cheesecake Cookies?

Take your cookies out right before they’re “done”. The cookies will continue baking on the hot baking sheet for a few minutes as they cool. This creates a delicious chewy inside without over-baking the cookie.

How many calories in a Strawberry Cheesecake Cookie?
