Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 12 oz Fresh strawberries Use ripe but firm strawberries.
  • 1 large Egg
  • 2 3/4 cups All-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp Baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp Baking soda
  • 27 tbsp Granulated sugar Use for creaming with butter.
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 2 1/2 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 1 cup Unsalted butter Softened, for creaming.
  • 6 oz Cream cheese Cut into small cubes for even mixing.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the egg and vanilla, mixing until smooth.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Fold in the chopped strawberries and cream cheese until evenly distributed.
Baking
  1. Scoop tablespoon-sized amounts of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving enough space between each.
  2. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
  3. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Store cooled cookies in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. For longer storage, freeze in a single layer on a tray, then move to a freezer bag for up to 1 month. Thaw at room temperature before serving.
