Ingredients
Cookie Dough
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 4 oz cream cheese softened
- 1/2 cup butter softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 3/4 cup fresh strawberries diced
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Cream the butter, cream cheese, granulated sugar, and brown sugar in a large mixing bowl. Beat until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a dough forms.
- Gently fold in the diced strawberries. Be careful not to overmix.
- Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Using a cookie scoop, portion the dough into balls and place them 2 inches apart on the baking sheets.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden.
- Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack.
Notes
Chilling the dough helps prevent the cookies from spreading too much while baking. You can also add white chocolate chips for extra sweetness!
