Ingredients
For the Cookie Base
- 1 cup all-purpose flour Spoon it into your measuring cup and level off for accuracy.
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened Allow to soften at room temperature.
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Frosting & Topping
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened Let it warm up to room temperature for a smooth texture.
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- Assorted fruits fresh fruits (strawberries, kiwi, blueberries, bananas, etc.) Customize based on season or preference.

Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, beating until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Don’t overmix; a few flour streaks are fine.
- Scoop out tablespoons of dough and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten each scoop slightly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden, and the centers appear set.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack.
Frosting and Topping
- While the cookies cool, mix together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and lemon juice in a bowl until smooth.
- Once the cookies are cool, spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture on top of each cookie.
- Arrange your favorite fruits on top of the frosted cookies in a decorative pattern.
- Optionally, garnish with mint leaves for an extra touch.
