Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (227 g) salted butter
- 1½ cups (300 g) granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- ½ teaspoon (0.5 teaspoon) almond extract
- 2¾ cups (380 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon (0.5 teaspoon) salt
- 4 ounces (113.4 g) cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons salted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- pinch of salt
- 1¾ cup (210 g) powdered sugar
- fresh fruit for topping
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, combine the butter and sugar, beating on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
- Add in the egg, egg yolk, vanilla, and almond extract, mixing on low until smooth (about 30 seconds).
- Gradually incorporate the baking soda, salt, and flour into the mixture.
- Use a ¼ cup cookie scoop to portion the dough into large balls and place 6-7 on each lined baking sheet.
- Bake for 11-14 minutes until the edges are light golden brown and there are cracks on top, taking care not to overbake.
- In a bowl, mix the cream cheese and butter until smooth, then add vanilla, a pinch of salt, and powdered sugar until well combined, creating a frosting for the cookies.
- Finely dice the fresh fruit and arrange it on top of the frosted cookies.
Notes
Make sure the butter is softened to room temperature for easy mixing.
You can mix and match the fruits to suit your taste—berries, kiwi, and mandarin are great options!
Store any leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days.
