Directions

For Cheese Cookies: Start by mixing cream cheese and powdered sugar until it’s smooth for the filling. Then, mix the flour, baking powder, and baking soda in another bowl and set aside. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, light brown sugar, vanilla extract, strawberry extract, and both the egg and egg white. Gradually add the flour mixture and strawberries. Form into cookie shapes and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F until golden brown.
For Cream Cheese Frosted Cookies: In a bowl, mix the eggs, vegetable oil, cake mix, and baking powder together, then gently fold in chopped strawberries. Bake until done. For the frosting, beat together cream cheese and butter, adding powdered sugar and vanilla gradually. Frost the cookies and top them with sliced strawberries.
For Cake Mix Cookies: Combine the cake mix, vegetable oil, and eggs until it forms a smooth dough. Stir in the white chocolate chips and bake at 350°F until golden.
For Pudding Cookies: Cream together butter and sugar, then mix in the jello powder, eggs, and extracts. Add the flour, pudding mix, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, and fold in the white chocolate chips. Bake until the edges are golden.
