Method
Preparation
- Blend the cold cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract for the filling until smooth. Scoop into 18 discs and freeze until solid.
- In a medium saucepan, combine strawberries and sugar, cooking over medium heat for approximately 45 minutes, smashing halfway, until thickened. Chill completely.
Cookie Dough
- In a large bowl, cream softened butter and sugar until fluffy.
- Incorporate the egg and vanilla extract, beating until pale and light.
- Gradually mix in flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, being cautious not to overmix.
Assembly
- Layer the dough and strawberry jam by adding each in quarters to create beautiful swirls.
- Scoop the dough into 18 equal balls, flatten each, and place a cheesecake disc in the center, wrapping the dough around it.
- Roll cookies in sugar, slightly flatten them, and place on a baking sheet.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 11–12 minutes.
- Let cookies cool on the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes
For best results, use room-temperature ingredients. Don't overmix the jam into the dough to preserve swirls. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
