Ingredients
Ingredients
1/2cupunsalted butter, softened
1/2cupgranulated sugar
1/2cupbrown sugar
1largeegg
1teaspoonvanilla extract
1 1/2cupsall-purpose flour
1/2teaspoonbaking soda
1/2teaspoonsalt
6ozcream cheese, softened
1/4cuppowdered sugar
1/4teaspoonvanilla extract
1/4cupstrawberry 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
