Bake soft, thick strawberry cheesecake cookies with a brown sugar base, creamy cheesecake frosting, strawberry jam, and a graham cracker crumb topping. These cookies taste like mini strawberry cheesecakes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened (for the cookie dough)
  • 1/2 cup strawberry jam (for swirling/topping)
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened (for frosting)
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar (for frosting)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened (for frosting)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (for frosting)
  • 1 tablespoon milk or cream (for frosting, if needed)
  • 1/4 cup graham cracker crumbs (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the 1 cup butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  5. Beat in the 1/2 cup of cream cheese until the dough is smooth and uniform.
  6. Scoop dough portions (about 3 tablespoons each) onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between them.
  7. Use your thumb or the back of a spoon to create a small well in the center of each dough ball.
  8. Spoon about 1/2 teaspoon of strawberry jam into the well of each cookie.
  9. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers look slightly soft. Do not overbake.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. Prepare the frosting: Beat the 1/2 cup cream cheese, 1/4 cup butter, powdered sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla until smooth. Add milk if the frosting is too stiff.
  12. Once cookies are completely cool, spread or pipe a layer of the cream cheese frosting onto the top of each cookie.
  13. Sprinkle the tops lightly with graham cracker crumbs.

Notes

  • For a tangier cookie, you can slightly increase the amount of cream cheese in the dough.
  • If you are planning your weekly meals, these cookies make a great reward after sticking to your meal planning goals.
  • If you need a quick dessert idea, skip the frosting and simply top the warm cookies with a dollop of strawberry jam and a sprinkle of graham cracker crumbs.
