Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
Flavoring Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Leavening and Seasoning Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper for optimal cookie preparation.
- Thoroughly blend butter and sugar in a large mixing bowl until achieving a creamy, aerated texture.
- Incorporate egg and vanilla extract, ensuring a uniform mixture with smooth consistency.
- Gently fold in flour, baking powder, and salt, mixing until ingredients are fully integrated without overmixing.
- Shape dough into uniform rounded balls, delicately pressing to slightly flatten each cookie on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, watching for golden edges and set centers as indicators of doneness.
- Allow cookies to cool completely on a wire rack, providing adequate time for structural stabilization.
- Whip cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla until achieving a silky, luxurious frosting texture.
- Gradually introduce heavy whipping cream, beating until frosting becomes light and fluffy.
- Combine flour, brown sugar, and melted butter to create a crumbly topping mixture.
- Toast crumble in the 350°F oven for 5 minutes, stirring once to ensure even golden-brown coloration.
- Generously spread cheesecake frosting across each cooled cookie surface.
- Garnish with toasted crumble and freshly diced strawberries for a vibrant, textural finish.
Notes
- Chill the dough before rolling to prevent spreading and maintain cookie shape during baking.
- Use room temperature cream cheese for smoother, lump-free frosting that spreads easily.
- Toast the crumble topping carefully to enhance nutty flavors without burning, watching closely during those 5 minutes.
- Replace fresh strawberries with freeze-dried strawberry powder for a more intense berry flavor and longer shelf life.
