Prep time: 10 min + chill time | Cook time: 12 min | Total: 22 min + chill times
7 1/2 Tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 3/4 cups powdered sugar
fresh fruit for decoration
Instructions
1. Beat the butter and sugar together in a mixer with a paddle attachment until light and fluffy. About 3 minutes. Add the vanilla and eggs and mix until combined.
2. Add in the flour, baking powder and salt, mix again until combined. Place dough on a floured parchment paper and roll out to 1/4 to 1/2 inch. Cover the dough with another piece of parchment and chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Take dough out of the fridge and using a cookie cutter, cut out desired shape. Transfer to a cookie sheet lined with a Silpat or parchment. Bake for about 12 minutes or until edges just begin to turn light brown. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
4. FROSTING: Mix cream cheese, butter, vanilla and powdered sugar all together until smooth. Spread over the cookie and then decorate with any fruit you choose.
5. Sit back and watch these things disappear. Be sure to stash a few away for yourself.
