Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Make the cookie dough:
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar using a hand mixer until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, graham cracker crumbs, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until combined.
Scoop and shape:
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, scoop out 2-tablespoon-sized balls of dough. Place them on the baking sheet and gently flatten them with your fingers or the back of a spoon.
Bake the cookies:
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Let the cookies cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Prepare the frosting:
Beat the softened cream cheese and butter until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, followed by the vanilla extract and heavy cream. Beat until fluffy.
Make the strawberry topping:
In a small bowl, combine the diced strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Stir to combine and let sit for a few minutes to macerate.
Assemble the cookies:
Once the cookies have cooled completely, spread the cheesecake frosting generously on each cookie. Top with the strawberry mixture.
Serve and enjoy! Allow the cookies to set for a few minutes before serving, or store in an airtight container.
Notes
Chill the dough: If you prefer thicker cookies, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking. This will prevent them from spreading too much.
Graham cracker crumbs: Make sure to crush your graham crackers finely for the best texture in your cookies.
Fresh strawberries: Use ripe strawberries for the best flavor and texture in the topping.
Storage: Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate them for up to 5 days. If freezing, store them in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to 1 month.
