Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Base:
- 1 package sugar cookie dough mix
Frosting Ingredients:
- 8 ounces (226 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 6 tablespoons (85 grams) butter, softened
- 2 cups (240 grams) confectioner’s sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
Fruit Toppings:
- Blueberries
- Strawberries
- Raspberries
- Kiwis
- Mandarin oranges
Instructions
- Craft sugar cookie dough and roll out to a thin, uniform layer approximately 1/4 inch thick, using egg-shaped cookie cutters to create festive silhouettes.
- Transfer cookie shapes to baking sheet and bake at recommended temperature until edges turn golden, typically 8-10 minutes. Allow cookies to cool completely on wire rack.
- Prepare creamy frosting by whipping cream cheese and butter until light and airy, incorporating vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Gradually fold in powdered sugar until smooth and spreadable.
- Carefully dice selected fruits into delicate, uniform pieces, gently blotting with paper towel to remove excess moisture.
- Using an offset spatula, generously spread frosting across cooled cookie surfaces, creating a smooth, even layer.
- Artfully arrange chopped fruit pieces atop frosted cookies, creating colorful and appetizing Easter-themed designs.
- Optional: Dust lightly with powdered sugar or add additional decorative elements for enhanced visual appeal.
Notes
- Chill cookie dough for 30 minutes before rolling to make cutting easier and prevent sticking.
- Select ripe, firm fruits like strawberries, kiwi, or mandarin oranges that won’t release excess moisture.
- Ensure cream cheese and butter are at room temperature for lump-free, spreadable consistency.
- Bake cookies and prepare frosting a day in advance, storing separately to maintain crispness and freshness.
