Ingredients

Cookies

  • 1 package sugar cookie dough (mix or your favorite recipe)

Frosting

  • 8 ounces Brick Cream Cheese, softened
  • 6 Tbsp butter, softened
  • 2 cups confectioner’s sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Toppings

  • Assorted fresh berries and fruit (blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, kiwis, mandarin oranges), chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cookie Dough: Prepare the sugar cookie dough according to the package instructions or your favorite recipe, ensuring the dough is ready for rolling.
  2. Shape the Cookies: Roll the dough out to about ¼ inch thick on a lightly floured surface, then use an egg-shaped cookie cutter to cut out the cookies.
  3. Bake the Cookies: Place the egg-shaped cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake according to the package or recipe directions, typically until golden around the edges.
  4. Cool the Cookies: Remove cookies from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.
  5. Make the Frosting: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and softened butter together with an electric mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Add Flavor and Sweetness: Add the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt to the cream cheese mixture, then gradually add the confectioner’s sugar, mixing well after each addition until smooth and creamy.
  7. Prepare the Fruit Toppings: Chop the assorted berries and fruit into small, bite-sized pieces, ready for decorating the cookies.
  8. Frost the Cookies: Using a spatula or knife, spread a thick, even layer of the cream cheese frosting over each cooled cookie.
  9. Decorate: Generously top each frosted cookie with the chopped fresh berries and fruit, pressing lightly so they adhere to the frosting.
  10. Serve: Serve the cookies immediately to enjoy their freshest flavor and vibrant appearance.

Notes

  • Ensure the cookies are completely cool before frosting to prevent the frosting from melting.
  • Use fresh, ripe fruit for the best taste and appearance.
  • These cookies are best served the same day but can be refrigerated for up to 2 days; bring to room temperature before serving.
  • For variation, try different fruit combinations such as mango, pineapple, or grapes.
