Ingredients

For the Dough

1 cup Butter Adds richness and moisture; can substitute with margarine for a dairy-free option.
3/4 cup Granulated Sugar Sweetens the dough, essential for the perfect flavor.
1/4 cup Brown Sugar Provides moisture and a hint of molasses flavor for depth.
1 large Egg Binds the ingredients together; for a vegan version, replace with flaxseed meal mixed with water.
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Enhances overall flavor; can also try almond extract.
2 cups All-Purpose Flour Forms the base; substitute with a gluten-free blend if needed.
1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda Acts as a leavening agent; omit if using self-rising flour.
1/2 teaspoon Salt Balances sweetness; reduce for low-sodium diets.

For the Cheesecake Filling

1/2 cup Cream Cheese Offers that creamy cheesecake taste; mascarpone can be used as a substitute.

For the Fruit

1 cup Fresh Strawberries Delivers vibrant freshness and flavor; frozen ones can be used if thawed and drained.

For the Sweet Touch

1/2 cup White Chocolate Chips Adds sweetness and texture; dark chocolate chips work for a richer flavor.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
Add the vanilla extract and egg to the creamed mixture and beat until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients until no streaks remain.
Fold in the softened cream cheese until smooth.
Gently fold in the chopped strawberries and white chocolate chips.
Scoop dough onto the baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, until edges are golden and centers are soft.
Let cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
