Instructions

Make the cream cheese filling by mixing softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth.
Scoop teaspoon-sized balls of the cream cheese mixture onto a parchment-lined baking pan and freeze while preparing the cookie dough.
In a stand mixer, beat cold butter with granulated and brown sugars until smooth.
Add eggs and mix until combined.
Gradually incorporate flour, baking soda, vanilla extract, and sea salt until a thick dough forms.
Gently fold in finely diced strawberries and chill dough for 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a baking pan lined with parchment paper.
Form large balls of cookie dough, create an indent in each, place a cream cheese ball inside, then seal it shut.
Bake for 11 to 12 minutes or until set in the middle. Cool before serving.
