Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large egg
  • 115 g (½ cup or 4 oz) unsalted butter, softened
  • 250 g (2 cups) all-purpose flour
  • 150 g (¾ cup or 5.3 oz) granulated sugar
  • 120 g (½ cup or 4.2 oz) cream cheese, softened
  • 150 g (½ cup or 5.3 oz) strawberry jam or preserves
  • 120 ml (½ cup or 4 fl oz) heavy cream
  • 30 g (¼ cup or 1 oz) powdered sugar
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Fresh strawberries, halved or diced
  • Mint leaves (optional)
  • Powdered sugar (for dusting)

Instructions

  1. Preparation: Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl. Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, then blend in egg and vanilla to create a smooth batter.
  2. Forming Dough: Gradually mix dry ingredients into the wet mixture, crafting a pliable dough. Mold small balls and press them into a mini muffin tin, creating gentle wells using your thumb or a rounded utensil.
  3. Baking Process: Slide the tin into a preheated 180C oven, allowing cookie shells to transform into golden-rimmed delicacies. Allow complete cooling within the tin before carefully extracting the cups.
  4. Filling Creation: Whip cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla until velvety. In a separate bowl, whisk heavy cream to stiff peak consistency. Delicately fold whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, introducing swirls of strawberry jam for a marbled effect.
  5. Assembly and Garnish: Utilize a piping bag or spoon to generously fill each cookie cup with the strawberry-infused cream. Adorn with a fresh strawberry piece and optional mint leaf. Dust the tops with a light sprinkle of powdered sugar.
  6. Serving: Present immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve, ensuring the perfect balance of crisp cookie and creamy filling.

Notes

  • Maintain Precise Dough Consistency: Ensure cookie dough isn’t too sticky or crumbly by chilling for 15-20 minutes before shaping, helping create uniform and perfectly structured cookie cups.
  • Create Uniform Indentations: Use the back of a small measuring spoon or cork to press consistent, even centers into cookie dough, preventing uneven baking and ensuring stable filling holders.
  • Control Moisture in Filling: Pat fresh strawberries dry before garnishing to prevent potential sogginess and maintain the crisp texture of cookie cups.
  • Temperature Management: Allow cream cheese and butter to reach room temperature before mixing, guaranteeing smoother blending and preventing lumpy filling texture.
