Preheat the oven to 350℉.

To prepare the filling, add the cream cheese and powdered sugar to a bowl. Using a hand mixer, beat until combined. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Place the flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda into a bowl and stir. Set aside.

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. On low speed, cream together until light and fluffy.

Add the egg and vanilla and mix until combined.

With the mixer on low, slowly add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients. Once it just comes together, add the white chocolate chips and the dried strawberries. Mix until the chocolate chips and strawberries have been incorporated.

To assemble the cookies, use a 1 tablespoon scoop and scoop a ball of dough. Place it on the cookie sheet and use your thumb to press an indentation into the middle of the dough. Continue scooping cookies until you have 8 ready on a cookie sheet.

Using a teaspoon, scoop 1 teaspoon of cream cheese and place it into the center of each cookie dough. Then scoop 1 tablespoon of cookie dough and place on top of the cream cheese. Lightly push the top onto the bottom. (It isn’t necessary to seal the cookie, but just gently push the two doughs together).

Bake for 11-13 minutes. Allow to cool for 5 minutes and then transfer to a cooling rack.
