Enjoying a sweet treat in less than 30 minutes is the best way to live life, in my opinion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, I will occasionally make exceptions for fussy cookies with complicated baking methods, and these strawberry cheesecake cookies are the best exception! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The method is this: after you make a quick cheesecake filling that you freeze (so that it doesn&rsquo;t melt in the oven), you make a basic cookie dough containing freeze-dried strawberries for the outer cookie part. Garnish with graham crackers while still warm, and you&rsquo;re done!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Strawberry-Cheesecake-Cookies-17.jpg\" alt=\"Strawberry cheesecake cookies on white counter.\" class=\"wp-image-79786\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Strawberry-Cheesecake-Cookies-17.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Strawberry-Cheesecake-Cookies-17-267x400.jpg 267w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Strawberry-Cheesecake-Cookies-17-550x825.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Strawberry-Cheesecake-Cookies-17-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Strawberry-Cheesecake-Cookies-17-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Strawberry-Cheesecake-Cookies-17-400x600.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Strawberry-Cheesecake-Cookies-17-150x225.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ingredients\">Ingredients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Strawberry-Cheesecake-Cookies.jpg\" alt=\"Lots of small white bowls with graham crackers, sugars, butter, and vanilla inside.\" class=\"wp-image-79770\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Strawberry-Cheesecake-Cookies.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Strawberry-Cheesecake-Cookies-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Strawberry-Cheesecake-Cookies-550x367.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Strawberry-Cheesecake-Cookies-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Strawberry-Cheesecake-Cookies-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Cream Cheese<\/strong>. We need just half a block of cream cheese, or 4 ounces total. Please use the brick of cream cheese, not the whipped stuff in the tub, because that has too much other liquid which will melt in the oven during our strawberry cheesecake cookies baking time.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Powdered Sugar<\/strong>. Just two tablespoons of powdered sugar to sweeten the cheesecake filling.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Lemon Juice<\/strong>. For the tangy cheesecake flavor, use 1 teaspoon of lemon juice. It can be fresh or bottled lemon juice.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Flour<\/strong>. This recipe is by weight and cups, so you need 1 cup (or 120 grams) of all-purpose flour.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Baking Soda<\/strong>. One-half teaspoon of baking soda (which weighs 2.5 grams).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Salt<\/strong>. One-quarter teaspoon of fine sea salt.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Butter<\/strong>. The dough needs 6 tablespoons (or 3 ounces) of unsalted butter that has been softened almost to room temperature but not melted.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Granulated Sugar<\/strong>. One-half cup (or 100 grams) of granulated white sugar.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Brown Sugar<\/strong>. A very small amount of brown sugar (just 3 tablespoons (39 grams)) to make the cookies soft and chewy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Egg<\/strong>. One large egg.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Vanilla<\/strong>. One full teaspoon (5 mL) of pure vanilla extract.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Freeze Dried Strawberry Slices<\/strong>. You need a 1.2 ounce bag of freeze dried strawberry slices. I buy these at Trader Joe&rsquo;s. If you buy in bulk, you could get away with just 1 ounce, because we mainly use 0.2 ounces for decorating the cookies after baking. This recipe is made using freeze-dried strawberries for maximum strawberry flavor without any of the excess moisture from fresh strawberries (which would make our cookies too soggy). If you&rsquo;re looking for a cheesecake cookie recipe that uses the canned fruit, look no further than my <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/cherry-cheesecake-cookies\/\">Cherry Cheesecake Cookies<\/a><\/span>. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Graham Crackers<\/strong>. To drive home the cheesecake flavor, we&rsquo;ll be sprinkling pieces of crushed graham crackers on the cookies right after baking. Three whole sheets is plenty.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-make-strawberry-cheesecake-cookies\">How to Make Strawberry Cheesecake Cookies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Strawberry-Cheesecake-Cookies-12.jpg\" alt=\"White bowl with cream cheese, sugar and lemon juice inside.\" class=\"wp-image-79773\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Strawberry-Cheesecake-Cookies-12.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Strawberry-Cheesecake-Cookies-12-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Strawberry-Cheesecake-Cookies-12-550x367.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Strawberry-Cheesecake-Cookies-12-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Strawberry-Cheesecake-Cookies-12-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Strawberry-Cheesecake-Cookies-21.jpg\" alt=\"Twelve white balls of dough on baking sheet.\" class=\"wp-image-79774\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Strawberry-Cheesecake-Cookies-21.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Strawberry-Cheesecake-Cookies-21-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Strawberry-Cheesecake-Cookies-21-550x367.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Strawberry-Cheesecake-Cookies-21-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Strawberry-Cheesecake-Cookies-21-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>First, make the filling: combine the cream cheese, powdered sugar and lemon juice.

You may bake them and freeze them for up to 3 months, and then defrost at room temperature on the counter, if you like. You can also prepare the dough balls ahead of time and freeze.
