04
In a bowl, mix flour, salt, and baking soda. Add this to the butter and sugar mixture. Gently fold in strawberries.
05
Scoop dough and place in baking sheet. Use a teaspoon to create an indent in the center of each dough ball.
06
Press the frozen cream cheese balls into the indents of the cookie dough. Cover with a bit of the dough.
07
Bake the cookies for 10 minutes, until the sides are lightly golden. Cool and serve!
- Remove any water from the cream cheese spread before mixing it with powdered sugar. - If the cookies spread or lose shape, use a spatula to gently nudge the edges back into a round cookie form.
