- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
For the Cheesecake Frosting:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened

Instructions
1️⃣ Bake the Cookie Base
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cream together the butter and white sugar until fluffy. Add in the egg and vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Slowly add dry ingredients into the wet mixture until a dough forms.
Shape: Roll dough into golf-ball-sized rounds. Slightly press them down before placing on the baking sheet.
Bake: 10–12 minutes, until edges are set and bottoms are slightly golden. Cool completely.
2️⃣ Make the Cheesecake Frosting
Beat cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract.
Pour in the whipping cream and beat on high until the frosting becomes light, fluffy, and spreadable.
3️⃣ Make the Crumble
Mix flour, brown sugar, and melted butter until crumbly. Spread on a small baking tray and bake at 350°F for about 5 minutes, or until golden.
4️⃣ Assemble
Once the cookies are fully cooled:
- Spread a swirl of cheesecake frosting on each one.
- Sprinkle generously with the baked crumble.
- Top with fresh diced strawberries.
Pro Tip: Add a drizzle of brownie batter dip on top for extra decadence!
