To make these cookies, I started by dumping some eggs and vegetable oil into a large mixing bowl.
I whisked the eggs and oil together well and set the bowl aside.
Then I dumped a box of strawberry cake mix into a separate mixing bowl.
I added some baking powder to the bowl.
I stirred the cake mix and baking powder together well.
I added the dry ingredients to the bowl with the wet ingredients.
I stirred all of the ingredients together well.
I added some fresh chopped strawberries to the bowl.
I folded the strawberries into the cookie dough.
I lined two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
I scooped 6 balls of cookie dough onto each baking sheet.
I baked until the cookies were just starting to brown.
I left the cookies to cool completely before frosting them.
I took 1 out of the 12 cookies and crumbled it to use as topping for the remaining 11 cookies.
To prepare the frosting, I dumped some softened cream cheese, butter and vanilla into a mixing bowl.
I used an electric mixer to cream the ingredients together until smooth.
I added some powdered sugar to the bowl.
I continued mixing until the ingredients were fully combined.
Then I scooped the frosting into a piping bag.
I frosted each of the cookies.
Then I sprinkled the crumbs from the crumbled cookie on top.
I placed a strawberry slice on top of each cookie.
Then the strawberry cheesecake cookies were ready to serve.
If you are not serving the cookies immediately you should wait to slice the strawberries and place them on top right before serving so that they will be fresh.
