Preparation Steps
- Combine cold cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl. Use an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
- Scoop the cheesecake filling into small discs and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze for 1 to 2 hours, or until solid.
- In a medium saucepan, combine diced strawberries and sugar over medium heat to make strawberry jam. Cook for about 45 minutes, smashing halfway through.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, cream softened butter and sugar until fluffy.
- Beat in egg and vanilla, then gradually mix in dry ingredients until just combined.
- Layer softened dough with spoonfuls of cooled strawberry jam in the bowl and gently fold without overmixing.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Portion dough using a cookie scoop and flatten in your hand. Place a frozen cheesecake disc in the center, encase it, and roll into a ball.
- Roll each ball in granulated sugar. Arrange on a baking sheet, 2 inches apart, and bake for 11-12 minutes until edges are golden.
- Cool on the sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Dust with powdered sugar and serve with garnishes.
