After seeing a version of these cookies on Pinterest, I decided to put my own spin on them.

The result was everything I hoped for—rich, creamy, fruity, and perfect for summer.

Ingredients
Cookie Dough
¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
4 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2¾ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons cornstarch (optional, for an extra soft texture)
Strawberry Compote
2 cups fresh strawberries, diced
⅓ cup strawberry jam
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon water
Toppings
Philadelphia No Bake Cheesecake Filling
Fresh diced strawberries
Crushed Golden Oreos
Directions
Prepare the strawberry compote by combining strawberries, jam, and lemon juice in a saucepan over medium heat. Simmer for 6–8 minutes. Stir together the cornstarch and water, then add it to the saucepan. Cook until thickened. Let cool completely.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter, cream cheese, and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cornstarch. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients until combined.
Chill the dough for 30–45 minutes.
Scoop large portions of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Press a deep well into the center of each cookie.
Bake at 350°F for 12–14 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Immediately press the centers again while the cookies are still warm.
Allow the cookies to cool completely.
Fill each cookie with the no-bake cheesecake filling, spoon over the cooled strawberry compote, top with fresh strawberries, and finish with crushed Golden Oreos just before serving.
Tips
Chill the cookie dough to help the cookies stay thick while baking.
Let the compote cool completely before assembling so the cheesecake filling stays firm.
Add the Golden Oreos just before serving to keep them crunchy.
Final Thoughts
These cookies are the perfect combination of strawberry shortcake and cheesecake in one bite. The buttery cookie, creamy filling, juicy strawberries, and crunchy Golden Oreos create a dessert that's as beautiful as it is delicious.
