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

Topping

  • ⅓ cup strawberry jam

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). 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. Set aside.
  3. Create Creamy Batter: In a separate large bowl, use a mixer to beat the softened butter, cream cheese, and granulated sugar until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.
  4. Add Egg and Vanilla: Incorporate the egg and vanilla extract into the creamy mixture, mixing thoroughly until fully combined.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until the dough comes together without overmixing to maintain a tender texture.
  6. Scoop Dough: Using a cookie scoop or spoon, place dollops of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them adequately to allow room for spreading.
  7. Add Strawberry Jam: Spoon a small amount of strawberry jam onto the top of each dough ball. Using a toothpick or the tip of a knife, gently swirl the jam into the surface of the dough, creating a marbled effect without fully blending it in.
  8. Bake Cookies: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers remain slightly soft to retain a chewy texture.
  9. Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely, ensuring they firm up properly.

Notes

  • For softer centers, avoid overbaking and check cookies at the 12-minute mark.
  • Ensure butter and cream cheese are softened to room temperature for easier mixing.
  • Use fresh or high-quality strawberry jam for the best flavor impact.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
