Ingredients
Sugar Cookie Crust
- 1/2 cup butter softened
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract or almond flavoring
- 1 1/4 cups flour
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Cream Cheese Frosting
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- 3 tablespoons butter softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla or almond flavoring
- 1 1/4 cup powdered sugar
Fruit Topping
- sliced strawberries
- Raspberries
- Blueberries
- Blackberries
Instructions
Sugar Cookie Crust
- Mix the butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla (or almond) until well combined with electric mixer. Add flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix until combined. Chill the dough for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking stone with parchment. Roll the chilled dough out on the stone to a 1/4 to 1/2-inch thick layer, leaving some space around the edge. Tip: I placed a sheet of plastic wrap over the dough as I rolled it out to prevent it from sticking to the roller (which is optional.) Bake for 20-25 minutes until lightly browned around the edges. Allow cookie crust to cool. Can be made in advance (cool first, then place parchment paper over the baked crust and cover the entire stone with aluminum foil sealing around the edges.)
Cream Cheese Frosting
- Using an electric mixer, combine the cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar and vanilla (or almond) until smooth and creamy. Spread over the cooled cookie crust. Top with fruit in your own creative style.
