The first step in crafting these cookies is preparing the cheesecake filling. Start by taking the cream cheese out of the refrigerator and allowing it to soften at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Softening the cream cheese is crucial, as it ensures a smooth filling that blends easily with the other ingredients. Once softened, beat the cream cheese with a mixer until it is creamy and free of lumps. Add a touch of granulated sugar and a hint of vanilla extract to enhance the flavor. Finally, fold in finely chopped fresh strawberries, ensuring an even distribution throughout the filling. Set this mixture aside in the refrigerator while you prepare the cookie dough.

Ingredients
  

For the Cookie Dough:

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

3/4 cup granulated sugar

3/4 cup packed brown sugar

1 large egg

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

For the Strawberry Cheesecake Filling:

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup fresh strawberries, finely chopped

Instructions
 

Make the Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gently fold in the finely chopped strawberries. Place the mixture in the freezer for about 30 minutes to firm up.

    Prepare the Cookie Dough: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.

      Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing just until combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.

        Assemble Cookies: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Take a tablespoon of cookie dough and flatten it in the palm of your hand. Place a small spoonful (about a teaspoon) of the cheesecake filling in the center, then wrap the cookie dough around the filling, rolling it into a ball to fully enclose the filling.

          Bake: Place the stuffed cookie dough balls on a lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still soft. Remove from the oven and let cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

            Serve: Once cooled, enjoy these delicious Strawberry Cheesecake Stuffed Cookies with a glass of milk or tea!
