Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 6 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup strawberry jam or preserves
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth. Spoon 12 small dollops onto a plate and freeze for at least 20 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, mixing well.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
- Scoop about 2 tablespoons of cookie dough and flatten it in your hand. Place a frozen cream cheese dollop and a small spoonful (about 1 teaspoon) of strawberry jam in the center. Cover with another flattened tablespoon of dough and seal the edges so the filling is completely enclosed.
- Place stuffed dough balls on your prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each.
- Bake for 12 to 14 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers look slightly underbaked (they'll set as they cool).
- Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before devouring!
Notes
