Strawberry cheesecake cookies are incredibly versatile and can be customized to suit your preferences. Here are a few ideas to get you started: add a drizzle of white chocolate or cream cheese glaze for an extra touch of sweetness. Sprinkle crushed graham crackers or cookie crumbs on top for added crunch. Experiment with different fruit combinations, such as strawberry-blueberry or strawberry-raspberry, to create unique flavors. For a touch of elegance, shape the cookie dough into thumbprint cookies and fill the indentation with strawberry am or a dollop of cream cheese that has been mixed with vanilla and sugar.
