Step by Step Instructions for Making Strawberry Cheesecake Cookies
STEP 1:
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.
STEP 2:
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.
STEP 3:
I added the dry ingredients to the bowl with the wet ingredients.
I stirred all of the ingredients together well.
STEP 4:
I added some fresh chopped strawberries to the bowl.
I folded the strawberries into the cookie dough.
STEP 5:
I lined two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
I scooped 6 balls of cookie dough onto each baking sheet.
STEP 6:
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.
STEP 7:
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.
STEP 8:
I added some powdered sugar to the bowl.
I continued mixing until the ingredients were fully combined.
