# Ingredients You’ll Need:
→ Dough
01 -
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
02 -
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
03 -
3/4 cup granulated sugar
04 -
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
05 -
1 large egg
06 -
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
→ Dry Ingredients
07 -
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
08 -
1 teaspoon baking soda
09 -
1/2 teaspoon salt
→ Mix-ins
10 -
1 cup white chocolate chips
11 -
1 cup finely chopped fresh strawberries or 1/2 cup freeze-dried strawberries
# How to Make It:
01 -
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
02 -
In a large mixing bowl, blend softened butter, cream cheese, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until mixture is light and fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes.
03 -
Add egg and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture, mixing until fully combined.
04 -
In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
05 -
Gradually integrate dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring just until combined. Fold in white chocolate chips and strawberries.
06 -
Using a cookie scoop (about 2 tablespoons per cookie), drop portions of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing 2 inches apart. For thicker cookies and less spreading, chill dough balls for 15 to 30 minutes if desired.
07 -
Bake in the center of the preheated oven for 12 minutes, or until cookies are lightly golden at the edges.
08 -
Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
Chilling the cookie dough before baking results in thicker, sturdier cookies with less spread.
