Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
Freeze for 15 minutes to firm up. In a large bowl, mix strawberry cake mix, oil, and eggs until a soft dough forms.
If too sticky, chill for 10 minutes. Scoop a tablespoon of dough, flatten it, and add a teaspoon of cheesecake filling in the center.
Top with another piece of dough and seal the edges. Arrange on the baking sheet, leaving space between each.
Bake for 10–12 minutes until edges are set but centers remain soft. Cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a rack. Enjoy warm or chilled.
