Instructions

Begin by making strawberry puree for the swirl component first.

Blend fresh strawberries with sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice until smooth.

Cook strawberry mixture in small saucepan over medium heat for 5 minutes.

Stir constantly until thickened, then cool completely before using.

Preheat oven to 350°F and line baking sheets with parchment paper.

Cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until fluffy.

Beat in eggs one at a time, then add vanilla and almond extracts.

In separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.

Gradually mix dry ingredients into wet ingredients until just combined.

In another bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth and creamy.

Add powdered sugar, egg yolk, and vanilla to cream cheese mixture.

Beat until well combined and no lumps remain in mixture.

Scoop cookie dough into 2-tablespoon portions onto prepared baking sheets.

Create small wells in center of each cookie dough portion.

Fill wells with cream cheese mixture using small spoon.

Drizzle cooled strawberry puree over cream cheese in decorative pattern.

Use toothpick to create swirl pattern through strawberry and cream cheese.

Bake cookies for 10-12 minutes until edges are lightly golden.

Centers should still appear slightly soft when removing from oven.

Cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to wire rack.

Allow cookies to cool completely before applying frosting layer.

Beat cream cheese frosting ingredients until smooth and pipeable consistency.

Pipe frosting rosettes on top of each cooled cookie.

Garnish with fresh strawberry slices and graham cracker crumbs.

Serve immediately or store in refrigerator for up to 3 days.
