Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup fresh strawberries, finely chopped
1/2 cup homemade or store-bought strawberry jam
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together butter, cream cheese, and sugar until smooth.
Beat in eggs one at a time, then add vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually fold into the wet mixture until just combined.
Gently fold in chopped strawberries, making sure they are evenly distributed.
Scoop cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 12–15 minutes, until edges are lightly golden but centers are soft.
Let cookies cool for 5 minutes on the sheet, then transfer to a wire rack.
Once cooled, top each cookie with a small spoonful of strawberry jam and let set before serving.
