Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup chopped fresh strawberries
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together using an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, which should take about 3 minutes.
- Add the vanilla extract and the egg to the mixture, continuing to beat on medium speed until fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing slowly at first to prevent flour from spilling out, and continue mixing until just combined.
- Add the softened cream cheese to the dough and beat it into the mixture until smooth.
- Gently fold in the chopped fresh strawberries using a spatula, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Stir in the white chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly spread through the dough.
- Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough and place them onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing each cookie about 2 inches apart.
- Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set but still soft.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once the cookies have cooled completely, they are ready to be enjoyed.
