🔪 How to Make Strawberry Cheesecake Cookies
Step 1: Add lemon juice to the strawberries
Start by placing your chopped strawberries into a bowl and pouring the lemon juice into the bowl. Mix being sure that all the strawberries get coated with the lemon juice. Set aside to allow the strawberries to soak up the lemon juice.
Step 2: Preheat the oven
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Step 3: Cream together the butter and sugar
In stand mixer or a hand mixer, beat the cream cheese and butter until smooth and creamy.
Step 4: Add in the sugar and vanilla
Add in the sugar and vanilla. Follow with the eggs, mixing until fully combined.
Step 5: Sift the flour and mix it in
Using a sifter, sift the flour, baking powder, and salt into the cream cheese mixture. Mix until the flour is well incorporated.
Step 6: Strain the strawberries
Strain the strawberries to get rid of all the excess lemon juice.
Step 7: Fold in the strawberries, chocolate chips, and nuts
Fold in the strawberries, white chocolate chips, and nuts into the cookie dough.
Step 8: Chill the cookie dough
Cover the mixing bowl and place it in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.
Step 9: Scoop out the cookie dough
Once chilled, using a cookie/ice cream scoop, scoop out approximately 2 Tbsp. per cookie.
Step 10: Add the cookie dough to the baking sheet
Be sure to place the cookie dough 1 inch apart on a prepared baking pan.
Step 11: Bake the strawberry cream cheese cookies
Bake for 13-15 minutes or until the bottom edges are golden brown.

💭 Tips
- I like to use fresh strawberries when making these cookies. However, you can use frozen strawberries. If you decide to use them, you’ll need to thaw them, remove excess water, and then add them to your cookie batter.
- This recipe calls for white chocolate chips. However, you can substitute that for regular chocolate chips or even chopped-up chocolate if you prefer.
- Switch out the nuts for your favorites, like pecans or walnuts.
- If using frozen strawberries for this strawberry cookie recipe, I recommend thawing and draining the strawberries first.
- Beat the butter and sugar together until it is light and fluffy. You want to mix it well before you add the flour.
- Once you add the flour to the cookie dough, because careful to not overmix. Mix until just combined.
- For a smooth cookie, you will need the butter and cream cheese to be at room temperature before you start mixing these strawberry cream cheese cookies.
- If the dough is sticking to the cookie scoop, you can dust it with powdered sugar or chill the cookie dough for a longer period of time.
⁉️ FAQ
Do you have questions about this recipe? Here are the answers to the most commonly asked questions.
No, you generally don’t need to refrigerate these cookies. Since you are baking the cream cheese, it’s okay to store these cookies at room temperature.
It makes the cream cheese softer and that much easier to work with when preparing your cookie dough.
Creaming the butter and sugar until it is smooth, and then not overmixing the cookie dough is the best way to get light and fluffy cookies every time.
Adding cornstarch to cookies will help them to retain their shape and bake up soft without getting tough.
