Instructions
- Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In a medium bowl, beat together the cream cheese, egg yolk, granulated sugar, flour, salt, and vanilla until smooth. Stir in strawberry jam and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
- Prepare the Cookie Dough: In another bowl, whisk together flour, crushed graham crackers, salt, baking soda, and cornstarch. In a large bowl, beat butter, sugar, and brown sugar until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time and mix in vanilla. Add dry ingredients gradually, then fold in white chocolate chips.
- Assemble the Cookies: Chill the dough for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment. Scoop 1 tablespoon of dough, flatten, and place a heaping teaspoon of cheesecake filling. Seal with another tablespoon of dough and press remaining chocolate chips on top. Chill for another 30 minutes.
- Bake the Cookies: Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden. Cool on baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
Chill the dough for easier handling. Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days at room temperature or 1 week in the refrigerator.
