Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup (50g) brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, diced (or thawed and drained frozen strawberries)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and unsalted butter until smooth and fluffy.
  3. Add granulated sugar and brown sugar. Continue mixing until fully combined.
  4. Beat in eggs one at a time, followed by vanilla extract.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  6. Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Mix until just combined.
  7. Gently fold in diced strawberries, avoiding crushing them.
  8. Scoop dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing cookies about 2 inches apart.
  9. Bake for 12-15 minutes until edges are set and slightly golden. Centers should remain soft.
  10. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Avoid overmixing to keep cookies tender.

Drain frozen strawberries well to prevent excess moisture.

For added texture, try folding in chopped nuts or white chocolate chips.

Cookies firm up as they cool, so don’t overbake.
