Cheesecake Filling Preparation
- In a mixing bowl, beat together cold cream cheese, 3 tablespoons of granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until fluffy and smooth, about 3-5 minutes.
- Scoop the filling into small discs using a tablespoon and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze for at least 30 minutes.
Strawberry Jam Preparation
- In a saucepan, combine diced fresh strawberries and sugar over medium heat. Cook while stirring for about 30-45 minutes, until thickened.
- Remove from heat and chill in the refrigerator until completely cool.
Cookie Dough Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
- Cream together very soft unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 4-5 minutes. Beat in the egg and additional vanilla extract until pale in color.
Combine Ingredients
- Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined.
- Fold in the chilled strawberry jam to create marbling throughout your dough.
Assemble Cookies
- Using a cookie scoop, take a portion of the dough and flatten it in your palm. Place a frozen cheesecake disc in the center and encase it with the dough.
- Roll the filled dough ball in granulated sugar and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Baking
- Bake for 11-12 minutes, or until edges are golden. Allow to cool on the tray for a couple of minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes
Chill cheesecake discs before baking to maintain shape and achieve perfect consistency. Store in an airtight container for 3 days or refrigerate for longer shelf life.
