Strawberry Pop Tart Cookies are delightful treats that capture the flavors of a classic breakfast favorite. These cookies typically feature a buttery, sweet dough that is filled with strawberry jam or preserves, reminiscent of the fruity filling in strawberry Pop Tarts.
The cookies are often shaped like small tarts or pockets, with a crumbly texture that melts in your mouth. They’re usually finished with a sweet glaze or frosting, adding an extra layer of sweetness and a hint of nostalgia for those who enjoy the taste of strawberry Pop Tarts.

INGREDIENTS
▢½ 8 ounce package cream cheese softened (4 ounces total)
▢¾ cup salted butter 1 ½ stick, softened
▢1 cup granulated sugar
▢¼ cup plain Greek yogurt
▢1 large egg
▢1 tsp pure vanilla extract
▢1¾ cups all purpose flour

INSTRUCTIONS
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone liners and preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a large mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese, butter and sugar until smooth and creamy.
Add the yogurt, eggs and vanilla and mix until combined.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually mix the wet and dry ingredients together.
Cut the Pop Tarts into ½-inch pieces.
Fold pop tarts and sprinkles into the batter with a spatula until just barely incorporated.
Scoop out 2 inch rounded scoops of dough and put on the baking sheets (I used a 2 inch cookie scoop), leaving 2 inches of space between the cookies.
Gently press down on each cookie to help with the spread during baking.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until lightly browned on the bottom.
Let cool for a few minutes on the cookie sheets, then transfer to wire cooling racks.
