Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth and creamy. Scoop mixture into 18 discs and freeze for 30 minutes.
  2. Prepare strawberry jam by placing strawberries and granulated sugar in a saucepan over medium heat. Smash lightly halfway through and cook for 45 minutes until thickened. Cool completely.
  3. Cream together softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla; beat until pale. Whisk dry ingredients together and gradually add to wet mixture, mixing until combined.
  4. Flatten 2 tablespoons of cookie dough, place cheesecake disc in center, wrap dough around disc, and swirl in strawberry jam gently for a visually appealing look.
  5. Roll each filled dough ball in granulated sugar, slightly flatten between palms, and repeat until all dough is used.
  6. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake cookies for 11-12 minutes until golden at edges, then cool on baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to wire rack.
