Ingredients

  • 6 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/3 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon strawberry extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup salted sweet cream butter, softened
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon strawberry extract
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 egg white, room temperature
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese on medium-high speed for 30 seconds until smooth.
  2. Reduce speed and mix in powdered sugar and strawberry extract, then beat again until smooth.
  3. Scoop 24 small portions onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, flatten slightly, and freeze.
  4. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and baking soda.
  5. In another bowl, beat butter until smooth, then mix in sugars until light and fluffy.
  6. Add vanilla and strawberry extract and mix to combine.
  7. Add egg and egg white one at a time, mixing well after each.
  8. Gradually add dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  9. Toss chopped strawberries with 1 tablespoon flour, then gently fold into dough.
  10. Cover and chill dough for 1 hour.
  11. Preheat oven to 375°F and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  12. Scoop dough into 24 portions and space evenly on baking sheets.
  13. Place a frozen cream cheese disk in the center of each and wrap dough around it.
  14. Bake for 12-14 minutes until edges are golden brown.
  15. Cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Chilling the dough helps prevent spreading and improves texture.
  • Keep cream cheese filling frozen until ready to use for easier handling.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • Serve slightly chilled or at room temperature for best flavor.
