Stated plan

Grab the c7 pawn with the queen, forcing a favorable queen trade or gaining a safe material edge.

Reasoning

The black king on f7 is somewhat exposed, but the tactical shots (Qe6+, Qe7+, Nh6+, Nd6+, Rd7+) all fail to undefended squares or king escapes (Kg6) that refute them, since knight f5 and queen e5 don't create a genuine forced win against careful defense. However, the pawn on c7 is only defended by the queen on d8, and grabbing it with the queen forces a favorable trade: after Qxc7 Qxc7 White nets a clean extra pawn, or if Black avoids the trade White's queen remains actively placed with material gained. This is safe, wins material, and doesn't allow any tactical refutation.
