Strawberry Cheesecake Cookies have a bright, fruity cookie outside with a creamy, tangy cream cheese filling. Made with cake mix & other simple ingredients!
In a large mixing bowl, beat together the strawberry cake mix, eggs, and butter until smooth. Fold in white chocolate chips and diced strawberries. Refrigerate dough until ready to bake.
In another mixing bowl, beat together room-temperature cream cheese and powdered sugar. Spoon this mixture onto a parchment-lined cookie sheet in 1 tbsp increments (about the size of a small cookie scoop). Freeze these spoonfuls for about an hour.
When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Scoop 2-3 tbsp balls of cookie dough onto a baking pan lined with parchment paper (about 6 per cookie sheet works best; I cooked mine in two batches). With a spoon or your thumb, make an indent in the middle of the cookie dough ball.
Bake at 350 degrees for 13-16 minutes, until cookies start to brown on top and around the sides. Cool on the baking sheet for at least 15 minutes before carefully transferring to a baking rack.
