Cream Cheese Filling
- Start by making the cream cheese filling by mixing together the cream cheese and icing sugar.

Cookie dough
- 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.
- 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.
