Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup diced fresh strawberries
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened butter and cream cheese using an electric mixer. Add granulated sugar and brown sugar, and beat until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, blending on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
- Gently fold in diced fresh strawberries and white chocolate chips (if using). Be careful not to crush the strawberries.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, portion out the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly undercooked but will firm up as they cool.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
