Equipment

Cookie Sheets
Mixing bowls
Medium cookie scoop

Ingredients
 

For the Sugar Cookies:

  • 2 ½ cups all purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter softened
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg at room temperature
  • 1 large egg yolk at room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

For the Cream Cheese Frosting:

  • 1 stick (½cup) unsalted butter softened
  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups powdered sugar

To Decorate:

  • Orange segments
  • Blueberries
  • Strawberries
  • Raspberries
  • Kiwi

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F/180°C (160°C for a fan oven), and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat silicone baking mat. Set aside.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  • In a separate mixing bowl, with a hand mixer, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract, and beat again.
  • Add the flour mixture, a little at a time, mixing after each addition. If the dough gets too thick for your mixer, finish mixing the dough by hand.
  • Use a medium cookie scoop (2 tbsp size) to drop the dough onto the lined baking sheet, leaving two inches between each cookie.
  • Bake for 11-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  • Allow the cookies to cool on the pan for 2 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

To Make the Frosting:

  • Cream together the cream cheese and butter on medium speed until well blended, about 2 minutes. Add in the vanilla and salt.
  • Add in powdered sugar one cup at a time, mixing on low until all powdered sugar is incorporated.

To Decorate the Cookies:

  • Spread some cream cheese over each cooled cookie, then top with pieces of fruit.

Notes

  • If you're using oranges, it's best to remove the membrane from each segment. Canned mandarin oranges also work perfectly here.
  • Cut the fruit into small pieces so that you'll be able to put multiple types of fruit on each cookie without over-topping them.
  • Other toppings, such as slivered almonds, shredded coconut, or sprinkles can also be added.
  • Be sure to let the cookies cool before frosting them. Cream cheese frosting will melt right off of warm cookies!
  • If you'd like to take a shortcut, feel free to make this recipe with refrigerated cookie dough. While the cookies won't be quite as good, they'll still taste great with this homemade frosting.
  • The cookies and frosting can be made up to 2-3 days ahead of time. Store both in separate containers in the fridge. Just before serving. Frost the cookies and add the fruit.
