Directions

• In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Add the powdered sugar, strawberry puree, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined and creamy. Set aside to let the flavors meld.
• In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
• Mix in the egg and one teaspoon of vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
• In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Using a cookie scoop, scoop out a portion of cookie dough and flatten it gently in your palm.
• Place about 1 teaspoon of the strawberry cheesecake filling in the center of the flattened dough.
• Take another portion of cookie dough, flatten it, and place it on top of the filling. Pinch the edges to seal the filling inside.
• Arrange the stuffed cookies on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
• Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
• Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
• Serve your delicious Strawberry Cheesecake Stuffed Cookies warm or at room temperature.
