To make these cookies, you will need the following ingredients:

- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large egg yolks
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup strawberry jam
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

This recipe makes about 24 cookies.
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg yolks and mix well. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and mix until just combined.
Using a cookie scoop or spoon, form the dough into balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Use your thumb or the back of a spoon to make an indentation in the center of each cookie. Fill each indentation with a small spoonful of strawberry jam.
In another bowl, beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Spoon a small amount of the cream cheese mixture on top of the jam in each cookie.
Bake the cookies for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
These Strawberry Cheesecake Thumbprint Cookies are the perfect combination of sweet and tangy. The soft and buttery cookie base pairs perfectly with the creamy cheesecake filling and the sweet strawberry jam. These cookies are sure to be a hit at any party or gathering.
