Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Add in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
Gently fold in the diced fresh strawberries.
In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese with the powdered sugar until smooth.
Scoop about 1.5 tablespoons of cookie dough and flatten slightly. Place about 1 teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture in the center, then top with another scoop of dough.
Place the filled cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving about 2 inches between each.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
