Recipe Card

  • 24 prepared sugar cookies
  • 1 16 ounce package fresh strawberries
  • 1 12 ounce package fresh blueberries
  • 1 recipe lemon cream cheese frosting

ingredients

Lemon Cream Cheese Frosting:

  • 1/2 cup softened unsalted butter
  • 1 8 ounce package softened cream cheese
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon lemon extract
  • 1 pinch salt

Method

  • Step 1

    Prepare your sugar cookies according to package instructions.

  • Step 2

    In a stand mixer on high, beat the butter until light and creamy, adding cream cheese in small chunks until well-combined - about 5 minutes. Scrape down the sides as needed.

  • Step 3

    Switch the mixer to low, and add in lemon extract (or zest) and powdered sugar. Once sugar is mostly combined, increase mixer speed to high and beat for 3-5 minutes until incredibly light and fluffy.

  • Step 4

    To decorate, spread 1 tbsp cream cheese frosting onto a prepared and cooled cookie. Top with 1 quartered strawberry in a star formation. Fill in the extra space with blueberries. Repeat with remaining cookies.
