Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (226 g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (100 g) brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs (room temperature)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups (315 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (170 g) white chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup (160 g) strawberry jam
- 1/2 cup (113 g) cream cheese, softened
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the white chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.
- In a small bowl, combine the strawberry jam and softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Create a small indent in the center of each dough ball and fill with about 1 teaspoon of the strawberry cream cheese mixture.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the centers are set.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Chill the dough for 20–30 minutes if it feels too soft to prevent excessive spreading.
- Do not overbake to keep the cookies soft and chewy.
- Store cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days due to the cream cheese filling.
- You can freeze baked cookies for up to 2 months in a sealed container.
- Use high-quality strawberry jam for the best flavor and texture.
