Instructions
Prepare the Dough
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, beating until combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined to form a dough.
Bake the Cookies
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- On a floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thick. Use a 2-inch round cookie cutter to cut out cookies and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Prepare the Topping
- In a small bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Assemble and Serve
- Once the cookies are completely cooled, spread a small amount of cream cheese mixture on each cookie.
- Top each cookie with a variety of sliced fruits, arranging them in a visually pleasing pattern.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving for best freshness.
Storage
- Store any leftover cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
