For the Dough

  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by placing the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl and blend until smooth and creamy. Freeze dollops for 30-60 minutes.
  2. Cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  3. Incorporate the egg, vanilla extract, strawberry extract, and food coloring, mixing on low speed until well-combined.
  4. Gradually add flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt, mixing until just combined, being careful not to over-mix.
  5. Take 2 tablespoons of the dough, flatten it, place a frozen dollop of cream cheese filling in the center, and seal it completely around the filling.
  6. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake cookies for 10-12 minutes until edges are set but centers remain soft. Cool on the sheet.
