Ingredients
Scale
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- 1 cup salted butter, cubed
- 1 whole egg
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup salted butter, room temperature
- 1 pound powdered sugar
- Fresh fruit (berries, kiwi, banana, mandarin oranges)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a half sheet pan or line it with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the cubed butter and granulated sugar until smooth and fluffy.
- Add the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract to the butter mixture and blend well.
- Gradually mix in the flour and baking powder until a soft dough forms.
- Roll the dough into balls, each using about 3 tablespoons of dough. Flatten each ball slightly with the bottom of a glass. Chill the dough balls for 5 minutes in the refrigerator.
- Bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Allow the cookies to cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- In a separate bowl, beat together the room temperature butter and cream cheese until creamy.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until the frosting is smooth and well combined.
- Once the cookies have cooled, spread a generous layer of cream cheese frosting on each one.
- Decorate with a variety of fresh fruits, such as berries, kiwi slices, banana slices, and mandarin orange segments.
