Soft, creamy Strawberry Cheesecake Cookies with Jam Filling combine the rich tang of cheesecake with sweet strawberry jam for a delightful treat. These tender cookies feature a melt-in-your-mouth dough surrounding a fruity surprise, perfect for snacks, parties, or gifts.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Dough

  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

For the Filling

  • Strawberry jam, about 1 teaspoon per cookie

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cream Cheese Dough: Beat softened cream cheese and butter together until smooth and creamy. Add sugar and vanilla extract, mixing well. Incorporate the egg, then slowly fold in baking powder and flour, mixing until a soft, cohesive dough forms. Chill the dough for 30 minutes to make it easier to handle.
  2. Shape the Cookies: Divide the chilled dough into small balls about the size of a walnut. Flatten each ball gently in your palm, place about a teaspoon of strawberry jam in the center, then carefully wrap the dough around the jam, sealing it completely. Shape it back into a neat ball.
  3. Bake to Perfection: Arrange the jam-filled dough balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them evenly. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 12-15 minutes, until edges are set and lightly golden. Avoid overbaking to keep cookies soft.
  4. Cool and Serve: Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. This lets the jam filling set inside, giving each bite a vibrant strawberry surprise.

Notes

  • Chill the dough to prevent spreading and ease filling.
  • Use room temperature ingredients for smooth mixing and consistent dough texture.
  • Seal the jam well to prevent leaking during baking.
  • Do not overbake to keep cookies soft and tender.
  • Choose a high-quality strawberry jam for the best flavor.
