Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream together salted butter and granulated sugar on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.

- Gradually mix in baking soda, salt, and all-purpose flour until combined.
- Scoop the dough into large balls, using a ¼ cup cookie scoop.
- Place 6-7 dough balls on the prepared baking sheets and bake for 11-14 minutes until lightly golden brown at the edges with some crackling on top. Avoid overbaking.
- In a bowl, beat together cream cheese and 2 tablespoons salted butter until smooth. Mix in vanilla, a pinch of salt, and powdered sugar until well combined.
- Spread the frosting generously on each cooled cookie and top with diced fresh fruit.
Notes
For best results, use room temperature ingredients for the frosting.
Feel free to use any combination of fresh fruit to top your cookies—berries, kiwi, and bananas work great!
Store any leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature.
