Directions
Follow these detailed steps to craft your delicious Strawberry Cheesecake Cookies.
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This will help prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
-
In a large bowl, cream the butter, cream cheese, granulated sugar, and powdered sugar until smooth. Take your time with this step; a tremendous mixture makes for a better cookie texture.
-
Stir in the vanilla extract. This aromatic addition elevates the flavor profile beautifully.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Make sure to mix well to incorporate the dry ingredients thoroughly.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture until just combined. Be cautious not to over-mix; you want a tender yet sturdy base.
-
Gently fold in the chopped strawberries and white chocolate chips, if using. The strawberries should be evenly distributed, providing bursts of flavor in each bite.
-
Drop tablespoon-sized scoops of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. This allows room for the cookies to spread as they bake.
-
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are slightly golden. The cookies should still be soft in the center but set. Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
