These delightful treats combine the richness of white chocolate chunks with the burst of flavour from strawberries. But the magic doesn't stop there! Each cookie is crowned with a heavenly swirl of creamy cheesecake filling, adding a tangy and luxurious touch.
These cookies have delightfully crunchy exterior that gives way to a gooey, melt-in-your-mouth centre, creating a truly irresistible texture sensation! You can also freeze the cookie balls for up to a month and bake them right from the freezer whenever you desire.

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar

Directions

Strawberry Cheesecake White Chocolate Cookies

13 Steps

Step 1

In a bowl, whisk together the cream cheese and icing sugar until smooth and fully combined. Line a tray with parchment paper and transfer the mixture to a piping bag. Pipe the cream cheese mixture into nine 1 inch circles. Transfer the tray to the freezer.
Step 2

Place the strawberries in a bowl and place in the freezer as well.
Step 3

In the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Step 4

Add the egg and beat well for about 5 minutes or until light.
Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture and mix until just combined.
Step 6

Coat the frozen strawberries with about 1/2 tablespoon flour.
Step 7

Gently fold in the white chocolate chunks and frozen strawberries. Be careful not to overmix as the strawberries may release excess moisture.
Step 8

Scoop the dough into nine golf ball-sized portions (2 to 3 tablespoons). Place the frozen cream cheese mixture on top of each cookie dough ball, gently pressing it down to adhere.
Step 9

Chill the cookies in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
Step 10

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Step 11

Once the cookies are chilled, bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Step 12

Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes.
Step 13

Transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely and enjoy!
