  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg, at room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ½ cup freeze dried strawberries, diced
Directions
  1. Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper, then set aside.
  2. Beat together the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth.
  3. Scoop 24 teaspoons of the cream cheese filling onto the baking sheet. Freeze until completely solid (at least 30 minutes).
  4. Once the cream cheese filling is frozen, preheat the oven to 350 F.
  5. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper, then set aside.
  6. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  7. Beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  8. Add in the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until just combined.
  9. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter and sugar, mixing just until a dough forms.
  10. Add the strawberries to the batter and mix until just incorporated.
  11. Use a medium or large cookie scoop to scoop out ball of cookie dough, slightly flattening the ball. Press one cream cheese filling into the center of the cookie dough.
  12. Pinch the sides of the cookie dough together to seal the cream cheese mixture inside the dough and place on prepared baking sheet. Repeat the process with all cookie dough and cream cheese balls.
  13. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, until the edges of the cookies are golden.
  14. Cool then serve the cookies.
