Ingredients
2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
¾ cup brown sugar
¼ cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 egg yolk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
½ cup chopped fresh strawberries
6 ounces cream cheese, softened
⅓ cup powdered sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla extract (for filling)
Instructions
1. In a small bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Scoop into teaspoon-sized dollops onto a lined tray and freeze for 30 minutes.
2. In a large bowl, whisk flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt.
3. In another bowl, beat butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until fluffy.
4. Mix in the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla.
5. Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir in chopped strawberries.
6. Flatten a tablespoon of dough, place a frozen cream cheese dollop inside, and seal. Repeat for all dough.
7. Place cookies on a baking tray and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10–12 minutes until edges are golden.
8. Let cookies cool on the tray before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
Chill the cream cheese filling thoroughly to avoid leaks during baking.
Gently fold in strawberries to avoid over-moistening the dough.
