Preparation Steps

• Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, cream cheese, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should only take a few minutes with an electric mixer.
• Next, mix in the egg, mashed banana, and vanilla extract until everything is well combined. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt, then gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients until just combined.
• Finally, gently fold in the chopped strawberries, ensuring they are distributed throughout the cookie dough. Scoop tablespoons of dough onto a lined baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.
• Bake in your preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Once done, let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few moments before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
