Ingredients
For the Sugar Cookie Base:
- Pre-made sugar cookie dough (or your favorite homemade recipe)
For the Creamy Frosting:
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 6 tablespoons butter, softened
- 2 cups confectioner’s sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
For the Fruit Toppings:

Instructions
- Prepare the Cookies: Roll out the dough and cut into egg shapes. Bake according to package or recipe instructions and let them cool completely.
- Whip Up the Frosting: In a bowl, beat together cream cheese and butter until fluffy. Add vanilla, salt, and powdered sugar, mixing until smooth.
- Decorate with Style: Spread a layer of frosting over each cookie, then top with sliced fruit in decorative patterns.
- Serve and Enjoy: These are best enjoyed fresh but can be refrigerated if making ahead.
Notes
- Choose the Right Fruit: Stick to firm fruits like strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, and raspberries to prevent excess moisture.
- Make the Cookies in Advance: Sugar cookies can be baked ahead and stored in an airtight container.
- Pat the Fruit Dry: Removing excess moisture helps keep the cookies crisp.
- Get Creative with Decorations: Try stripes, polka dots, or swirls for a beautiful presentation.
- Use a Thick Frosting: A thicker consistency helps hold the fruit in place.
