Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup strawberry jam
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, until well combined.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
- Fold in Mix-Ins: Gently fold in the white chocolate chips.
- Prepare Filling: In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese with strawberry jam until smooth.
- Assemble the Cookies: Scoop a tablespoon of dough, flatten slightly, add a small dollop (about 1/2 teaspoon) of the cream cheese and jam mixture, and cover with more dough. Roll into a ball.
- Bake: Place dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spaced 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden.
- Cool and Serve: Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Use quality strawberry jam for the best flavor. To enhance the cheesecake flavor, add a splash of lemon juice to the cream cheese mixture.
