Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package sugar cookie dough mix (or your favorite homemade recipe)
  • 8 oz (225g) brick cream cheese, softened
  • 6 tbsp (85g) butter, softened
  • 2 cups (250g) confectioner’s sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Assorted fresh fruits (e.g., blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, kiwis, mandarin oranges)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cookies:
    • Preheat your oven according to the cookie dough package or recipe instructions.
    • Roll out the cookie dough to about ¼ inch thickness.
    • Use an egg-shaped cookie cutter to cut out the cookies.
    • Place the cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
    • Bake according to the package or recipe directions, then let them cool completely on a wire rack.
  2. Make the Frosting:
    • In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter together using an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
    • Add the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
    • Gradually add the confectioner’s sugar, mixing well after each addition, until the frosting is smooth and creamy.
  3. Prepare the Fruit:
    • Wash and dry the fruits thoroughly.
    • Chop larger fruits (like strawberries and kiwis) into small, bite-sized pieces.
  4. Assemble the Cookies:
    • Spread a thick layer of frosting onto each cooled cookie.
    • Decorate with the chopped fruits, arranging them in colorful patterns.
    • Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  1. Cookie Dough: Use store-bought sugar cookie dough for convenience, or make your own if you prefer a homemade touch.
  2. Frosting Consistency: Ensure the cream cheese and butter are softened to room temperature for a smooth and fluffy frosting.
  3. Fruit Prep: Pat the fruit dry with a paper towel to prevent excess moisture from making the frosting soggy.
  4. Serving: Add the fruit just before serving to keep the cookies fresh and vibrant.
  5. Storage: Store unfrosted cookies in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Frosted cookies (without fruit) can be refrigerated for 1-2 days.
