Soft, chewy cookies with cream cheese, strawberries, and white chocolate chips for a melt-in-your-mouth treat.

# What You'll Need:

→ Dough Base

01 - 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
02 - 3/4 cup granulated sugar
03 - 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
04 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
05 - 1 large egg

→ Dry Ingredients

06 - 2 cups all-purpose flour
07 - 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
08 - 1/2 teaspoon salt

→ Cream Cheese Layer

09 - 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened

→ Mix-ins

10 - 1 cup chopped fresh strawberries
11 - 1/2 cup white chocolate chips

# Directions:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, beat softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed for approximately 3 minutes until the mixture is light and fluffy.
03 - Add vanilla extract and egg, continuing to beat on medium speed until fully combined.
04 - In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt until evenly distributed.
05 - Gradually add dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, mixing on low to medium speed until just blended.
06 - Beat softened cream cheese into the dough until a smooth texture is achieved.
07 - Gently fold chopped fresh strawberries into the dough with a spatula to ensure even distribution.
08 - Stir in white chocolate chips so that they are evenly incorporated throughout the dough.
09 - Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough and place onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing each portion about 2 inches apart.
10 - Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and centers are set but soft.
11 - Remove tray from oven and allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
12 - Allow cookies to cool fully before serving.

# Notes:

01 - Softening the butter and cream cheese to room temperature ensures a creamy, homogeneous dough with optimal texture.
02 - Mixing strawberries in delicately prevents excess moisture from making the dough too wet.
03 - Use parchment or silicone mat to prevent sticking and promote even baking.
