Method
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. This step is crucial for a tender cookie texture.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined. Add the softened cream cheese and mix until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Gently fold in the diced strawberries, being careful not to overmix, which can make the cookies tough. Use a cookie scoop to place rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Chef's Tips:
• For best results, use room temperature butter and cream cheese
• Avoid overmixing the dough to keep cookies tender
• Serve with a glass of milk or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat
Food Safety:
