Detailed Directions and Instructions
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cream the Butters and Sugars
In a large bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and packed brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Add Eggs and Vanilla
Beat in the large eggs, one at a time, ensuring they are fully incorporated. Then mix in the vanilla extract.
Combine Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to combine.
Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in White Chocolate Chips
Gently fold in the white chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Prepare Strawberry Cream Cheese Filling
In a small bowl, mix the strawberry jam with the softened cream cheese until well blended.

Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie. Press a small indent into the center of each ball of dough.
Fill Indents with Filling
Fill each indent with a spoonful of the strawberry cream cheese mixture.
Bake the Cookies
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Keep an eye on them to avoid overbaking.
