- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp sour cream
For the Cookie Dough:
- ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
- ½ cup (100g) brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 ¾ cups (220g) all-purpose flour
- ½ cup (50g) graham cracker crumbs
- 1 tsp cornstarch
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
For the Filling & Topping:
- ⅓ cup strawberry jam
- ½ cup white chocolate, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Cheesecake Filling
- In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese and sugar until smooth.
- Stir in the vanilla extract and sour cream, mixing until creamy.
- Scoop out 2-teaspoon-sized dollops onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for 30 minutes, or until firm.
Step 2: Make the Cookie Dough
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, graham cracker crumbs, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Cover the dough and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Step 3: Assemble the Cookies
- Roll 2 tablespoons of dough into a ball and press a deep indentation in the center.
- Fill the indentation with 1 ½ teaspoons of strawberry jam.
- Place a frozen cheesecake dollop on top of the jam.
- Roll another small piece of dough, flatten it, and seal it over the filling, ensuring no gaps.
Step 4: Bake the Cookies
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- If using, press chopped white chocolate onto the tops of the cookies.
- Place cookies on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 14-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Let cookies cool on the baking sheet before transferring—warm cookies will be fragile.
