Why We Love These Cookies
When you add cream cheese to these cookies, it takes these cookies to the next level of goodness. The cookies are thicker, and the cream cheese keeps the cookies soft on the inside.
The texture of the cookie is slightly crispy but has the soft batch cookie flavor that we all love. The cookies turn out so light and fluffy. They taste great with the cream cheese filling.
Ingredients
- Butter – Use real, unsalted butter for the richest flavor and best texture. Margarine won’t give the same results.
- White Chocolate Chips – I love using Ghirardelli for their smooth melt and rich taste, but any high-quality white chocolate will work beautifully.
- Strawberry Cake Mix – A box of your favorite strawberry cake mix keeps things easy and adds bold flavor and color to every bite.
- Powdered Sugar – For a smooth finish, sift the powdered sugar if it’s clumpy before using it to roll the cookies.
- Cream Cheese – Use full-fat, block-style cream cheese at room temperature for a creamy, tangy cheesecake center that blends perfectly.

Variations
- Swap in Sprinkles – Skip the white chocolate chips and mix in colorful sprinkles for a playful, festive twist. Perfect for birthdays or holidays!
- Powdered Sugar Dusting – Give your cookies a light dusting of powdered sugar after baking for a simple yet elegant finish.
- Add a Crunch – Stir in a handful of chopped nuts like pecans or almonds to add a satisfying crunch and balance the sweetness.
- Change the Cake Mix – Switch things up with cherry cake mix (or even red velvet!) for a fun flavor variation with the same easy base.
- Boost with Jam – Mix in a spoonful or two of strawberry jam to the dough for an extra burst of fruity flavor in every bite.

I haven’t tried that yet but I think it would work. I would mix in 1/2 cup of chopped strawberries into the cookie mixture before scooping them onto the cookie sheet. If you try it, please let us know how it turns out. Thank you!
