For the Cookie Base:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/8 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 large egg

  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar

For the Topping:

  • 1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, diced
  • White chocolate, melted for drizzling (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Cookie Dough

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar.
  3. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat butter, egg, vanilla extract, and lemon juice until creamy.
  4. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until a soft dough forms.

Step 2: Shape & Bake the Cookies

  1. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll into balls.
  2. Flatten slightly and use your thumb or a spoon to create a small indentation in the center.
  3. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden.
  4. Let cool completely before adding the filling.

Step 3: Make the Cheesecake Filling

  1. In a chilled bowl, beat heavy cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
  2. Pipe or spoon the cheesecake mixture into the center of each cooled cookie.

Step 4: Add Toppings & Serve

  1. Top with fresh diced strawberries and drizzle with melted white chocolate (optional).
  2. Garnish with fresh mint leaves and serve immediately!

Notes

  • Want extra crunch? Add ½ cup crushed graham crackers to the cookie dough.
