Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Add-ins

  • 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, diced
  • 1/4 cup cream cheese, cubed

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening and seasoning.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a separate bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, creating a smooth base for your cookie dough.
  4. Add Egg and Vanilla: Incorporate the egg and vanilla extract into the butter-sugar mix, beating well to combine and enhance the flavor.
  5. Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined to avoid overmixing and developing too much gluten.
  6. Fold in Strawberries and Cream Cheese: Gently fold the diced strawberries and cubed cream cheese into the dough, distributing them evenly without breaking them up too much.
  7. Form Cookies: Drop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing each cookie about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading during baking.
  8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes until the edges turn a golden brown, signaling that the cookies are done.
  9. Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely, allowing them to set perfectly.

Notes

  • For best results, ensure the butter is softened to room temperature for easier creaming with sugar.
  • Fresh strawberries add moisture, so handle the dough gently to prevent too much juice from leaking.
  • Chilling the dough for 15 minutes before baking can help maintain cookie shape.
  • Use cold cream cheese cubes to keep their shape during baking, adding creamy pockets in the cookies.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
