Ingredients (with quantities):
Instructions:
👨🍳 1) Preparation: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) in convection mode. Prepare cream cheese balls by mixing cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla. Scoop into 1 tbsp balls onto parchment-lined tray and freeze for 30–60 minutes.
👨🍳 2) Making the Cookie Dough: In a stand mixer or by hand, beat the room temperature butter for 3-5 minutes until off-white. Add brown sugar and white sugar to the butter. Beat until fluffy (about 2 minutes). Add the large egg and mix well into the mixture. Stir in vanilla extract, strawberry extract, and red/pink food coloring (if using).
👨🍳 3) Creating the Dough: Combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Mix into the dough until well combined.
👨🍳 4) Test Cookie and Assembly: Use a 1/3 cup scoop or desired size and place a single ball of dough on a baking tray as a test cookie. Flatten the dough in your palm and place a frozen cream cheese ball in the center. Fold the dough around it to secure. Roll the dough in granulated sugar.
👨🍳 5) Baking: Bake cookies for 10-11 minutes at 350°F.
👨🍳 6) Shaping and Cooling: After baking, shape the cookies using a circular bowl/cup/cookie cutter for clean edges. Allow cookies to rest on the tray for about 10 minutes before removing.
👨🍳 7) Storage: Enjoy the cookies fresh or store in the fridge for up to 10 days!
👨🍳 8) Cream Cheese Filling Tips: Prepare cream cheese balls and freeze them beforehand for easier handling and perfect centers in the cookies.
