Strawberry Cheesecake Stuffed Cookies 🍓🍪

These cookies are soft, buttery, and stuffed with a creamy cheesecake filling and sweet strawberry swirl—pure indulgence in every bite!

Ingredients

For the Cookies:

½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened

½ cup granulated sugar
½ cup brown sugar (light or dark)
1 large egg

1 tsp vanilla extract
1½ cups all-purpose flour
½ tsp baking soda

½ tsp salt

For the Cheesecake Filling:

6 oz cream cheese, softened
¼ cup powdered sugar

¼ tsp vanilla extract

For the Strawberry Swirl:

¼ cup strawberry jam or preserves (or homemade compote)

Optional:

White chocolate chips, extra jam for drizzling

Instructions

Prep: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Make the cookie dough:
- In a large bowl, cream butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until fluffy.
- Beat in egg and vanilla.
- In another bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, and salt, then gradually mix into wet ingredients until combined.
Make the cheesecake filling:
- Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth.

Assemble the cookies:
- Scoop 1 tbsp cookie dough, flatten slightly, and place 1 tsp cheesecake filling + ½ tsp strawberry jam in the center.
- Top with another 1 tbsp dough, sealing edges to enclose the filling. Roll gently into a ball.

Bake: Place cookies 2″ apart on the sheet. Bake 12-14 minutes until edges are golden (centers will be soft).
Cool: Let rest on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

Tips for Success

✨ Chill the dough 30 mins if too sticky for easier handling.
✨ Don’t overbake—cookies will firm up as they cool.
✨ Swirl variation: Mix jam into cheesecake filling for a marbled effect.
✨ Serve slightly warm for a gooey center!
