Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Additional

  • ⅓ cup strawberry jam

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined to distribute the leavening agents evenly.
  3. Cream Butter and Cheese: In a separate large bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter, cream cheese, and granulated sugar together until the mixture is smooth and creamy, creating a rich base for the cookie dough.
  4. Add Egg and Vanilla: Incorporate the egg and vanilla extract into the butter and cream cheese mixture, mixing until fully combined to add moisture and flavor.
  5. Combine Dry and Wet: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing gently just until incorporated to avoid overworking the dough, which can toughen the cookies.
  6. Scoop Dough: Use a spoon or cookie scoop to place dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing each cookie apart to allow for spreading during baking.
  7. Add Strawberry Jam: Spoon a small dollop of strawberry jam on top of each dough ball for a burst of fruity sweetness.
  8. Swirl Jam: Use a toothpick or knife to gently swirl the jam into the surface of each dough ball, creating a marbled effect and distributing the jam flavor.
  9. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers remain slightly soft, ensuring a tender texture.
  10. Cool Cookies: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to firm up, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving or storing.

Notes

  • Ensure butter and cream cheese are softened to room temperature for easy mixing and smooth dough texture.
  • Do not overmix the dough once the dry ingredients are added to keep cookies tender.
  • Swirling the jam gently prevents it from fully melting into the dough, preserving bursts of strawberry flavor and visual appeal.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
  • For a stronger strawberry flavor, use a high-quality or homemade strawberry jam.
