Description

These Soft Strawberry Cheesecake Cookies are a dreamy dessert that feels perfect for parties, holiday trays, quick dessert cravings, and easy baking days at home. They are soft, creamy, fruity, and sweet with rich cheesecake flavor in every bite, making them one of my favorite easy recipe ideas for dessert boards, snack tables, and simple homemade food ideas.


Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1 1/4 cups granulated sugar

1 large egg

1 tsp vanilla extract

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 cup strawberry preserves

3/4 cup freeze-dried strawberries, crushed

1 cup powdered sugar

2 tbsp milk


Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

2. Beat the butter, cream cheese, and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.

3. Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until smooth.

4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

5. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix just until combined.

6. Fold in the strawberry preserves and crushed freeze-dried strawberries gently, leaving some swirls in the dough.

7. Chill the dough for 30 minutes.

8. Scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing the cookies about 2 inches apart.

9. Bake for 11 to 13 minutes, until the edges are set and the centers are still soft.

10. Let the cookies cool completely.

11. Stir the powdered sugar and milk together to make a simple glaze, then drizzle over the cooled cookies if desired.

Notes

Do not overbake these cookies, or they will lose that soft cheesecake-style center that makes them so special.
