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

Mix-Ins

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined to create the cookie base.
  3. Cream butter and sugar: In another bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, which will help create a tender cookie texture.
  4. Add egg and vanilla: Incorporate the egg and vanilla extract into the butter-sugar mixture, beating well to ensure full integration and smooth batter.
  5. Combine wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined to avoid overworking the dough.
  6. Fold in strawberries and cream cheese: Carefully fold in the diced fresh strawberries and cubed cream cheese, distributing these flavorful chunks evenly throughout the dough without crushing them.
  7. Drop dough onto baking sheet: Using a tablespoon, drop dollops of 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 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the cookies are set.
  9. Cool the cookies: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to firm up, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely and maintain their texture.

Notes

  • Ensure butter is softened, not melted, for best cookie texture.
  • Use fresh strawberries for optimal flavor and moisture balance.
  • Handle cream cheese gently to keep cubes intact throughout baking.
  • Space cookies sufficiently on the baking sheet to prevent sticking.
  • Store baked cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
