Instructions

Prepare the cheesecake filling by mixing cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add sour cream and vanilla, blending until creamy.
Freeze the filling in teaspoon portions on wax paper for easier handling later.
Beat softened butter with brown and granulated sugar until fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add eggs one at a time and blend in vanilla until glossy and cohesive.
Whisk together flour, graham cracker crumbs, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl.
Gradually combine dry and wet ingredients, mix until just incorporated, then chill the dough for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Assemble cookies by forming dough around a dollop of strawberry jam and frozen cheesecake filling.
Chill formed cookies briefly, then bake for 14-15 minutes until golden. Allow to cool before enjoying.

Notes

Store cookies at room temperature for up to three days in an airtight container.
For a longer shelf life, refrigerate for one week or freeze for three months.
Try different fruit jams for a unique twist on the filling.
