In a medium bowl combine the vanilla cake mix, brown sugar and graham cracker crumbs. Whisk to combine the dry ingredients.
Add the melted butter and eggs to the dry ingredients and mix using a hand held or stand mixer until you have a thick dough.
Use a medium cookie scoop {or about 2 tablespoons} to measure out dough and form each dough mound into a large disc. Place 8 onto a silicone mat {or parchment} lined baking sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until set. Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet. Continue until all of the dough is baked.

Once the cookies have cooled, add the softened cream cheese to a medium bowl and mix with an electric mixer until smooth. Add the marshmallow fluff and the powdered sugar and mix until you have a creamy frosting.

Spread about a tablespoon of cheesecake frosting on the top of each cookie. Use the back of a spoon or the end of an off set spatula to create a bit of a well in the frosting. Add a heaping teaspoon of strawberry jam to the middle of each cookie. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Buy graham cracker crumbs instead of whole graham crackers. This is such a time saving trick and allows you to make these cookies in no time.
Make your own strawberry jam. This freezer strawberry jam takes minutes to make and is a great way to use when it is strawberry season.
Allow the cookies to cool completely before adding frosting. If you try to add the frosting too soon it will melt into the cookie.
Store- Strawberry Cheesecake Cookies need to be refrigerated to stay fresh. Keep them in a good airtight container or cover with plastic wrap for up to 4 days.
Freeze- The best way to freeze these cookies is without the frosting and jam because the frosting can lose quality over time when frozen and then defrosted. However, if you need to freeze the entire cookie be sure that they are wrapped up well in a freezer bag for up to 2 months.
