These Strawberry Lemon Cream Cheese Cookies are a fun twist on my Grandma’s Lemon Cream Cheese Cookies! They’re a delicious lemon cream cheese cookie with a thumbprint filled with strawberry.

Strawberry Lemon Cream Cheese Cookies

The base of this cookie is a favorite on it’s own for our family, but adding the strawberry just makes it the perfect cookie to enjoy during the Spring and Summer seasons.

Making Strawberry Lemon Thumbprint Cookies

You start with softened cream cheese and butter plus sugar and give it a good mixing.

Butter and cream cheese

After creaming, you’ll add the egg and vanilla. Then you’ll add the lemon juice and lemon zest.

Adding the lemon zest to the lemon cream cheese batter.

In a separate bowl, you’ll combined your dry ingredients and then slowly add it to the batter in the mixing bowl. Then it’s time to refrigerated the dough for a least 4 hours.

cream cheese cookie balls

After the dough is chilled, you’ll roll the dough into balls.

Time for that thumbprint! You can either use your thumb or the back of a teaspoon to create that indentation.

strawberry jam in cream cheese cookies

To fill the center of the cookie, you microwave your strawberry jam and then spoon it into the center.

Then it’s time to bake!

After baking, you’ll make the drizzle to finish off your delicious strawberry lemon cream cheese cookies!

Servings: 16 cookies
Ingredients
  • ½ cup butter softened
  • 4 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • zest of 1 lemon
  • 2 ¼ cups flour

  1. Cream the softened butter and cream cheese with the sugar in a mixing bowl for 5 minutes. Start at a low speed and gradually increase to medium-high speed.

    Creamed butter, cream cheese, and sugar.
  2. Add the egg and vanilla to the mixing bowl and mix on low until combined.

  3. Add the lemon zest and lemon juice and mix until combined at low speed.

  4. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Slowly add the mixer on low speed until combined.

  5. Place the cookie dough covered in plastic wrap, in a refrigerator for at least 4 hours.

  6. After 4 hours in the refrigerator, remove your dough. Preheat your oven to 350° and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.

  8. Then use your thumb or the back of a teaspoon to create indents in each of the dough balls.

  9. Take the 1/2 cup of strawberry jam and place it in a microwave safe bowl. Heat the jam for about 20-30 seconds on 50% power. You are just wanting to loosen up the jam, not heat it up.

This simple spring decor idea is great for a mantel or a centerpiece. Green and blue mason jars just scream spring and summer to me... add some pretty flowers and a chalkboard "Spring" banner and you're set!
