Ingredients
Scale
Cookies:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup freeze-dried strawberries, crushed
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
Filling:
- 4 oz cream cheese, cut into small cubes and chilled
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Prepare dough: In a large bowl, beat butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in eggs and vanilla until combined.
- Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet mixture until just combined.
- Fold in mix-ins: Fold in crushed freeze-dried strawberries and white chocolate chips.
- Form cookies: Scoop 2 tablespoons of dough, flatten slightly, and place a cube of cream cheese in the center. Wrap dough around the cream cheese, sealing completely, and roll into a ball.
- Bake: Place on prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart. Bake for 11 to 13 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden.
- Cool and enjoy: Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
- Keep cream cheese very cold for easier handling and to prevent melting out during baking.
- Cookies are best enjoyed within 2 days for the softest centers.
