Creating these Strawberry Cheesecake Cookies is a straightforward process, especially if you follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
4. Mix Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
5. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
6. Prepare Cheesecake Filling: In a separate bowl, blend the softened cream cheese and pureed strawberries until smooth.
7. Form Cookies: Take a tablespoon of cookie dough and flatten it slightly in the palm of your hand. Place about a teaspoon of the cheesecake filling in the center, then fold the dough around it and roll it into a ball.
8. Place on Baking Sheet: Arrange the cookie balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving enough space between each cookie.
9. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
10. Cool: Once baked, allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
11. Decorate (Optional): Melt some white chocolate for drizzling and add additional strawberry pieces on top for an appealing garnish.

With these steps, you’ll have a batch of delightful Strawberry Cheesecake Cookies ready to impress everyone!
