Instructions
Creating Strawberry Cheesecake Cookies with Jam can be straightforward if you follow these easy steps:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add the Egg and Vanilla: Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
5. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
6. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
7. Form Cookies: Using a cookie scoop, drop balls of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
8. Add Cheesecake Filling: Make a small indentation in the center of each cookie and fill it with a teaspoon of the cheesecake mixture.
9. Top with Jam: Add a small dollop of strawberry jam on top of the cheesecake filling.
10. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
11. Cool: Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
