Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a small bowl, mix the diced strawberries with the light brown sugar. Let them sit for 10-15 minutes to release their juices.
In a large mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
Add the softened butter and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture. Beat until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, powdered sugar, salt, and baking powder.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the cream cheese mixture, mixing until a dough forms.
Stir in the marinated strawberries, ensuring even distribution.
Drop spoonfuls of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Let the cookies cool on the sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

If using frozen strawberries, thaw and drain them before mixing with the brown sugar.

These cookies can be stored at room temperature for 3-4 days in an airtight container.

For a gluten-free version, swap all-purpose flour for a gluten-free flour blend.

To reheat, warm the cookies in the microwave or oven at 300°F (150°C).

For extra flavor, add lemon zest to the dough or drizzle white chocolate on top.
