Expert Tips
– Use room temperature ingredients: This helps make sure that the dough comes together evenly and the cookies bake evenly.
– Chill the dough: After the dough is mixed, chill it in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. This makes it easier to handle and will prevent the cookies from spreading too much while baking.
– Use a cookie scoop: A cookie scoop ensures that the cookies are uniform in size for even baking every time. Plus, it makes the process of stuffing the cookies with cheesecake easier.
– Let the Strawberry Cheesecake Stuffed Cookies Recipe cool: After taking the cookies out of the oven, let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This will help them set up and prevent them from breaking apart.
