Ingredients
  

Cookie Dough
  • 210 g Unsalted Butter
  • 150 g Sugar
  • 50 g Brown Sugar
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 Egg Yolk
  • 340 g Plain Flour
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1 tsp Baking Soda
  • 75 g Strawberries (1/2 cup)
Cream Cheese filling
  • 170 g Cream Cheese

Method
 

Cream Cheese Filling
  1. Start by making the cream cheese filling by mixing together the cream cheese and icing sugar.
  2. Place 1 tsp sized balls onto a plate or tray lined with baking paper or cling film. Place into the freezer for 1 hour until they are solid.
Cookie dough
  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and both sugars. Then add in the egg, yolk, salt and vanilla extract and whisk until fluffy.
  2. Sift in the plain flour and baking soda and fold until you get a thick cookie dough consistency. Add in the strawberries and fold until combined.
  3. Scoop the cookie dough using a medium ice-cream scoop (50g) and make a well. Place the cream cheese balls into the centre and cover the well with the cookie dough.
  4. Place the dough balls into a line baking tray and then refrigerate for at least 30 mins.
  5. Bake in a pre-heated oven at 175°C for 17 mins. Once baked, allow them to cool before tucking in.
