Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup butter softened
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup strawberries fresh, diced
  • 4 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Electric mixer
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Whisk
  • Spatula
  • Wire rack

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  4. Gently fold in the diced strawberries, being careful not to overmix.
  5. In another bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Using a spoon or a piping bag, place a dollop of the cream cheese mixture in the center of each cookie dough ball before shaping them into cookies.
  6. Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Chef's Tips:
• For a smoother texture, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
• Avoid overmixing the dough to prevent tough cookies.
• Serve with a glass of milk for the perfect pairing.
Food Safety:
• Ensure strawberries are fresh and washed thoroughly before use.
• Store cookies in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
