Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package (16 ounces) sugar cookie dough
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
- Fresh fruit (strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, banana slices) or seasonal fruit of choice
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet (about 15×10 inches) with parchment paper or silicone baking mat.
- Roll out sugar cookie dough evenly onto the baking sheet to form a roughly 12×8 inch rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes until edges are light golden brown. Remove and let cool completely on the baking sheet (about 30 minutes).
- In a mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth (2-3 minutes). Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until fluffy.
- In a separate cold bowl, whip heavy cream until soft peaks form (3-4 minutes).
- Gently fold whipped cream into cream cheese mixture until smooth and spreadable.
- Spread the creamy topping evenly over the cooled cookie base, leaving a small border around edges.
- Arrange fresh fruit on top in colorful patterns or scatter generously.
- Chill in refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving to let cream set and flavors meld.
Notes
Use room temperature cream cheese for smooth texture. Do not overbake cookie base to keep it soft. Whip cream to soft peaks to avoid graininess. Chill at least 1 hour for best texture. Use firm, ripe fruit to avoid sogginess. For dairy-free, use vegan cream cheese and coconut cream. For gluten-free, use gluten-free sugar cookie dough.
