INGREDIENTS:

Cookies

1 cup unsalted butter - softened to room temperature

2 oz cream cheese - softened

1 cup granulated sugar

1 large egg

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

3 cups all-purpose flour

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

3/4 teaspoon salt

Frosting

6 oz cream cheese - softened

6 tablespoons unsalted butter - softened

4 cups powdered sugar

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 large lemon - zested (don't need the lemon juice, JUST the zest)

1-2 tablespoons heavy cream - or milk, as needed

Toppings

blueberries

raspberries

green grapes

mandarin oranges

strawberries

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a bowl with an electric mixer, cream the butter, cream cheese, and granulated sugar for 2 minutes. Add the egg, and vanilla extract. Mix to combine. Add the flour, baking powder and salt and mix to until no flour streaks remain. Cover and chill dough for 30 minutes.

Portion dough into ¼ cup sized balls. Place 6 on the baking sheet and, using the palm of your hand, press down on each cookie dough ball until it is a disk. (these cookies won’t spread much because of the cream cheese, so make sure you make the cookies even and press down so that they’re about 1/2 inch thick).

Bake for 12-15 mins or until edges are lighly browned. Remove from oven, cool on pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Make frosting: Whip cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add the powdered sugar, vanilla, and lemon zest. Beat until smooth

Frost each cookie then top with chopped fresh fruit. Enjoy at room temperature or chilled.
