Prepare the cream cheese filling by mixing softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth.
Scoop out small balls of filling and freeze on a parchment-lined pan.
For the cookie dough, beat together cold butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until creamy.
Add eggs and mix until combined.
Incorporate dry ingredients to form dough; fold in diced strawberries.
Chill dough for 30 minutes in the fridge.
Preheat oven to 350°F. Scoop dough onto lined baking sheets, create indentations, and place frozen cream cheese balls inside.
