Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
- Wash and chop 1 cup of fresh strawberries into small pieces.
- In a bowl, beat together 8 ounces of softened cream cheese with 2 tablespoons of sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
