Common Questions About Strawberry Cheesecake Cookies
What Makes These Cookies So Special?
These Strawberry Cheesecake Cookies combine the best elements of a tangy strawberry cheesecake and a classic, soft cookie. The cream cheese gives them an extra creamy texture, while the strawberry cake mix imparts a vibrant strawberry flavor that’s simply irresistible!
How Should the Cookie Dough Feel?
The cookie dough should be soft and slightly sticky due to the cream cheese. It’s this creamy texture that results in the soft, chewy cookies we love.
Can I Make These Cookies Without an Electric Mixer?
Yes, you can! An electric mixer makes the process quicker and easier, but it’s not a necessity. You can use a large bowl and a sturdy wooden spoon to mix the ingredients until well combined.
Storage
I always get a little bit excited when I remember I have cookies in the fridge. You can absolutely save some of these delicious strawberry cookies for later!
Refrigerator
Store leftover cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. They’ll stay fresh and delicious for whenever you want a sweet treat.
Freezer
To freeze these cookies, place them in a single layer on a small baking sheet. Once they are fully frozen, transfer them to a freezer-safe, airtight container. They can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months. To enjoy, thaw them at room temperature.
Tips
Here are a few tips to make sure you get the best results with your seriously yummy cookies.
- Always use room temperature ingredients. This helps combine the ingredients more effectively and results in a smoother cookie dough.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes. This will make it easier to shape the cookie dough balls and help the cookies maintain their shape while baking.
- Don’t overcrowd the cookie sheet. Leaving enough space between the cookie dough balls allows the cookies to spread without sticking together.
- The cookies are done when the edges are golden brown, even if the centers look a bit undercooked. They’ll firm up as they cool.
