Print Recipe

These Strawberry Cheesecake Stuffed Cookies are bakery-style beauties with gooey cream cheese and strawberry jam hidden in every bite! Soft, golden brown cookie dough wraps around a dreamy cheesecake filling for a cookie that tastes just like your favorite dessert — and looks just as impressive.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Cheesecake Filling:

  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened

  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar

  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

  • 1/4 cup strawberry jam or preserves (seedless preferred)

For the Cookie Dough:

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened

  • 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

  • 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 tsp baking soda

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • Optional: 1/2 cup white chocolate chips or freeze-dried strawberries

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, mix softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Scoop teaspoon-sized mounds onto a parchment-lined plate. Top each with 1/2 tsp strawberry jam. Freeze for at least 30–45 minutes.

  • In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and both sugars until fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla, and beat until combined.

  • In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Fold in optional mix-ins if using.

  • Scoop two tablespoon-sized dough balls. Flatten one and place a frozen cheesecake dollop in the center. Cover with the second dough ball, seal the edges, and roll into a smooth ball.

  • Chill assembled cookie dough balls for 30 minutes to prevent spreading.

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment or silicone mats.

  • Bake for 12–14 minutes until edges are golden but centers still look slightly soft.

 

  • Cool for 5 minutes on the pan, then transfer to a wire rack. Enjoy warm or store as directed!

Notes

  • Don’t skip freezing the filling! It helps prevent leakage during baking.

  • These cookies are thick and gooey — slightly underbaking ensures a soft, cheesecake-style center.

  • Feel free to swap in other jams like raspberry, blueberry, or peach.

  • Dough can be made ahead and frozen with filling already inside.

 

  • For an extra pop, add lemon zest to the cheesecake filling!
