Ingredients

Sugar Cookies

½ cup (113.5 g) unsalted butter room temperature
⅔ cup (133.33 g) granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1½ cups (187.5 g) all-purpose flour weighed in grams or spooned and leved
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt

Cream Cheese Frosting

3 ounces (85.05 g) cream cheese room temperature
1 tablespoon (14 g) unsalted butter room temperature
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup (120 g) powdered sugar

Fruit Topping

variety of washed and dried fresh fruit (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, grapes, kiwi, oranges, etc.) chopped or sliced

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar. Mix in the egg and vanilla extract.
Stir the flour, baking soda, and salt into the wet ingredients just until combined.
Scoop 3 tablespoons of dough and roll it into a smooth ball for each cookie. Place them on the baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
Bake on the middle rack until the edges begin to tan (about 9-13 minutes). Let cool on the pan for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
Make the cream cheese frosting by combining cream cheese, butter, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar until smooth.
Spread frosting over the cooled cookies and top with fresh fruit!

Notes

Storage: Cookies are best served immediately, but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 1-2 days. Unfrosted sugar cookies can be frozen for 1 month and then thawed, frosted, and topped with fruit.
