Make soft, chewy strawberry cheesecake cookies featuring a creamy center and a graham cracker crumble topping.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup strawberry jam
  • 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened (for frosting)
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for frosting)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice (for frosting)
  • 1/4 cup graham cracker crumbs (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup softened butter and 1 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until combined.
  4. 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.
  5. Take 2 tablespoons of dough and flatten it slightly in your palm. Place 1/2 teaspoon of cream cheese and 1/4 teaspoon of strawberry jam in the center. Fold the dough around the filling and roll it into a ball. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining dough.
  6. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly set. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. To make the frosting, beat the 1/4 cup softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and lemon juice until smooth.
  8. Once cookies are cool, spread a small amount of frosting on top of each cookie.
  9. Sprinkle the tops lightly with graham cracker crumbs before the frosting sets.

Notes

  • For a stronger strawberry flavor, gently fold 2 tablespoons of finely diced fresh strawberries into the dough before filling.
  • Chill the dough for 30 minutes before scooping if your kitchen is warm; this helps the cookies keep their shape.
  • Use high-quality strawberry jam for the best flavor in the filling.
