Decoration

- Arrange your assorted fruits on top of the frosting to create beautiful, colorful designs.
Chilling
- Place the decorated cookies in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to set the frosting.
- Serve them chilled.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for about 3-4 days. Avoid freezing due to moisture from the fruits. Reheat gently in the microwave if needed.
