# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese and unsalted butter together until mixture is smooth and creamy.
03 - Add granulated sugar to the creamed mixture and mix until fully combined.
04 - Blend in the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until thoroughly incorporated.
05 - In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until evenly distributed.
06 - Gradually fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
07 - Gently fold in the finely chopped fresh strawberries and white chocolate chips until dispersed throughout the dough.
08 - Using a tablespoon or small scoop, portion dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing each cookie several inches apart.
09 - Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 45 minutes, or until edges are golden and centers are just set.
10 - Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - For optimal texture, ensure cream cheese and butter are fully softened before blending. Use fresh, dry strawberries to prevent excess moisture in the dough.
