Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy for about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
  6. Gently fold in the crushed freeze-dried strawberries into the cookie dough.
  7. In another bowl, beat together the cream cheese, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and strawberry jam until smooth.
Assembly
  1. Scoop about 1 tablespoon of cookie dough, flatten it slightly, and place a spoonful of cheesecake filling in the center.
  2. Take another tablespoon of dough and cover the filling, sealing the edges tightly.
Baking
  1. Place the assembled cookies on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are golden brown.
  2. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

Notes

Ensure butter and cream cheese are at room temperature for a smooth mix. Avoid overmixing the dough to maintain softness.
