Ingredients

2 3/4 cups (390g) all-purpose flour

1 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp cream of tartar

1 1/2 cups (310g) granulated sugar

1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, softened

1 large egg

1 large egg yolk

2 tsp vanilla extract

Fresh fruit of various colors

5 Tbsp (70g) salted butter, softened

8 oz (226g) cream cheese, softened

2 cups (250g) powdered sugar

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cream of tartar.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the granulated sugar and softened butter until combined and fluffy.
  4. Mix in the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix just until combined.
  6. Scoop about 1 1/2 tablespoons of dough and roll into balls. Place on prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the cookies appear slightly under-baked in the center.
  8. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. To make the frosting, beat the salted butter until creamy. Add the cream cheese and mix until smooth.
  10. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, then beat until light and fluffy.
  11. Spread frosting over the cooled cookies and top with assorted fresh fruit just before serving.

Notes

Use dry fruit to prevent the cookies from becoming soggy.

Decorate the cookies shortly before serving for the freshest appearance and texture.

Store unfrosted cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.

Store frosted cookies in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

Unfrosted cookies can be frozen for up to 2 months.

Try different fruit combinations such as strawberries, kiwi, blueberries, mango, or pineapple.

For extra sweetness, drizzle melted white chocolate over the finished cookies.
