Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons whole milk
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream or milk
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 cup fresh kiwi, peeled and sliced
  • Optional: fresh mint leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your baking sheet or pizza pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt. Set aside.
  3. Using an electric mixer, beat ¾ cup softened butter and 1 cup granulated sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes).
  4. Beat in 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients, alternating with 2 tablespoons milk, mixing on low speed just until combined. The dough should be soft but not sticky.
  6. Spread the dough evenly onto the prepared pan, about ¼ inch thick, smoothing the edges with a spatula.
  7. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set but still soft.
  8. Transfer the cookie on the parchment to a cooling rack and cool completely (30-40 minutes).
  9. Beat 8 ounces softened cream cheese with ½ cup powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth. Add 2 tablespoons heavy cream to thin if needed.
  10. Once the cookie is cooled, spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the top.
  11. Arrange sliced strawberries, blueberries, and kiwi in a festive pattern.
  12. Add fresh mint leaves if desired for garnish.
  13. Slice into wedges and serve immediately or chill for up to 2 hours before serving.

Notes

Soften butter and cream cheese before starting to avoid lumps. Mix dough just until combined to prevent toughness. Cool cookie completely before frosting to avoid melting. Add fruit just before serving to prevent sogginess. Frosting can be chilled if too soft.
