Ingredients
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
½ tsp baking soda
¼ tsp salt
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
¼ cup cream cheese, softened
½ cup granulated sugar
¼ cup brown sugar, packed
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ cup chopped fresh strawberries (or freeze-dried strawberries, crushed)
½ cup white chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Whisk Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Cream Butter and Cream Cheese: In a large bowl, beat softened butter and cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
Add Sugars: Add granulated sugar and brown sugar to the butter mixture. Beat until fluffy and well-combined.
Mix in Wet Ingredients: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until smooth.
Combine Dry and Wet: Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Fold in Strawberries and Chocolate: Gently fold in chopped fresh strawberries and white chocolate chips (if using).
Scoop Dough: Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake: Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Frozen Strawberries: If fresh strawberries aren’t in season, use frozen strawberries—just chop them into small pieces and pat them dry before adding to the dough.
Glaze: For extra sweetness, drizzle the cooled cookies with a glaze made of powdered sugar and milk.
Fruit Variations: Raspberries, blueberries, or diced peaches make excellent substitutions. Adjust flour if using juicier fruits.
Gluten-Free Option: Use a gluten-free flour blend, ensuring it contains xanthan gum for proper texture.
