Creating Strawberry Crunch Cheesecake Cookies is straightforward if you follow these easy steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Mix in the eggs and vanilla extract until well combined.
4. Mix Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
5. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
6. Incorporate Cream Cheese: Gently fold in the softened cream cheese and diced strawberries until evenly distributed.
7. Scoop Dough: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie.
8. Add Topping: Sprinkle crushed strawberry shortcake cookies on top of each dough ball for added crunch.
9. Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
10. Cool: Remove from the oven and allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 10-15 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
11. Optional Dusting: Once cooled, dust with powdered sugar if desired.
