Ingredients
  

Cookie Base
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
Mix-ins
  • 1 cup chopped strawberries
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened unsalted butter and cream cheese. Beat them together with a hand mixer until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  3. Gradually add the granulated sugar and brown sugar into the cream cheese mixture, and beat until combined. Next, add the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, mixing well in between.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  5. Gently fold the chopped strawberries and white chocolate chips into the cookie dough.
  6. Use a cookie scoop or spoon to scoop the dough onto your prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie as they will spread while baking.
Baking and Cooling
  1. Bake in your preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
  2. Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For a lighter option, use reduced-fat cream cheese. You can swap white chocolate chips for dark chocolate for a different flavor twist. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days or freeze for 3 months.
