Can I use frozen strawberries?

Yes. Thaw the frozen strawberries completely and drain and pat most thoroughly dry before dicing and folding into the dough. Fully frozen strawberries added without thawing and drying release excess moisture into the surrounding dough during baking and produce a wet and the most improperly set individual cookie. Properly thawed and dried frozen strawberries produce an equally vibrant and equally delicious individual result.

How do I know when the cookies are done?

The cookies are properly done when the edges are the most lightly golden while the centers still appear the most slightly underbaked and the most softly set. The centers will continue firming during the 10-minute cooling period on the hot baking sheet — cookies with fully set centers directly from the oven will overbake to a crisper and less chewy result during cooling.

What should I do if my cookie dough is too sticky?

Refrigerate the assembled dough for 30 minutes until the most sufficiently firmed for the most effortless and the most cleanly scooped individual portion. The cream cheese contributes to a softer-than-typical cookie dough that benefits significantly from a brief refrigerator firm-up before scooping and baking for the most beautifully controlled spread and the most properly thick individual finished cookie.
