Description

Fresh strawberries are added into cheesecake pudding cookies for a fun summertime treat.


Scale

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup butter, at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 package (3.4 oz) instant cheesecake pudding mix
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup chopped strawberries
  • 10 whole graham crackers, processed into fine crumbs

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, cream together the butter and both sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, scraping down the sides of the bowl in between additions. Beat in the vanilla.
  3. In another bowl, combine the flour, pudding mix, baking soda and salt. Add into the butter mixture and mix just until combined. Fold in the strawberries.
  4. Place the graham crackers in a shallow bowl or dish. Roll the cookie dough into 2 tablespoon sized balls and roll in the graham cracker crumbs. Place on the baking sheet, about 3 inches apart. Flatten slightly. Bake until set around the edges, about 12 minutes.

Recipe Notes:

for best results, store the cookies in the refrigerator.
