Ingredients

Scale

Dough Ingredients

  • 4 oz (113g) softened cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups (180g) all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend for gluten-free option)
  • 1 tsp baking powder

Filling

  • Strawberry jam, about 2 tablespoons (or preferred berry jam)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: Start by creaming the softened cream cheese and unsalted butter together until smooth and fluffy. Gradually beat in the granulated sugar and egg, followed by the vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, whisk the all-purpose flour with baking powder, then slowly add this to the wet mixture to form a soft, cohesive dough.
  2. Shape the Cookies: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Scoop approximately tablespoon-sized portions of dough, flatten them in your palm, and spoon a small dollop of strawberry jam in the center. Carefully fold the dough around the jam and roll into a cookie ball, ensuring the jam is sealed inside.
  3. Bake to Perfection: Place the dough balls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them evenly. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers remain soft. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  4. Serve and Enjoy: Once cooled, these cookies are ready to delight your taste buds with a burst of creamy cheesecake flavor and sweet strawberry jam filling in every bite.

Notes

  • Ensure butter and cream cheese are softened for smooth, even mixing.
  • Use a small spoonful of jam to prevent leaking during baking.
  • If dough feels too soft, refrigerate for 20 minutes before shaping to make it easier to handle.
  • Use parchment paper or silicone mats for baking to keep cookies from sticking and for easy cleanup.
  • Slight underbaking gives a softer texture, so watch the baking time carefully near the end.
