FAQ:
Can I use fresh strawberries instead of freeze-dried?
While freeze-dried strawberries give the cookies the right texture, you can use fresh strawberries, but be sure to chop them finely and pat them dry to avoid excess moisture.

How can I make these cookies dairy-free?
To make them dairy-free, use dairy-free butter, cream cheese, and a flax egg (mix 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed with 3 tablespoons water to replace the egg).

These Strawberry Cheesecake Cookies are the perfect balance of creamy, fruity, and sweet, making them an irresistible treat for any occasion!
