Ingredients
For the Sugar Cookies
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened Bring to room temperature
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
For the Cream Cheese Frosting and Topping
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Fresh fruits like strawberries, blueberries, kiwis, and raspberries For topping
Instructions
Prepare the Dough
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
Mix Dry Ingredients
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
Shape the Cookies
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Scoop tablespoons of dough and roll them into balls, placing them on a parchment-lined baking sheet about two inches apart. Flatten each ball slightly with your palm or the bottom of a glass.
Bake
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges start to turn golden. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely on a wire rack.
Prepare Frosting
- In a medium bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Assemble
- Once the cookies are cool, take a generous scoop of frosting and spread it onto each cookie. Joyfully place the fruits on top in any design or pattern you like.
Chill and Serve
- We recommend putting your assembled cookies in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to set the frosting before serving.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will stay fresh for up to five days. Freeze cookies without frosting for best results.
