  5. Stir in the flour, baking soda, and salt until a soft dough forms.

  7. Scoop 2 tablespoons of dough, flatten slightly, and place a frozen cheesecake ball in the center, wrapping the dough around it to form a smooth ball.
  8. Optional: Press a few strawberry slices on top.
  9. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 12 to 14 minutes until edges are golden and centers look slightly set.
