Ingredients:
- 1 lb (450g) refrigerated sugar cookie dough
- 2 tbsp (16g) melted butter
- 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups (240g) powdered sugar, sifted
- 1 tsp (5ml) pure vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp (15ml) heavy cream
- 1 cup (150g) fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1 cup (150g) fresh blueberries
- 1 cup (150g) fresh kiwi, peeled and sliced
- 1 cup (150g) fresh mango or pineapple chunks
- 2 tbsp (30ml) apricot preserves
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking sheet with melted butter and line with parchment paper.
- Press the sugar cookie dough evenly across the pan to form a circle about 1/2 inch thick, leaving a slightly thicker rim around the edge.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes until edges are pale mahogany-colored gold.
- Allow the crust to cool completely on the pan; optionally refrigerate for 15 minutes to stabilize.
- Using a hand mixer, beat softened cream cheese and butter together on medium-high until smooth and pale.
- Gradually add powdered sugar, beating on low initially and then increasing to high.
- Stir in vanilla extract and heavy cream until the frosting is glossy.
- Spread the frosting evenly across the cooled cookie base, leaving a 1/2 inch border of crust visible.
- Arrange kiwi, mango, blueberries, and strawberries in concentric circles starting from the center.
- Warm apricot preserves in the microwave for 10 seconds and gently brush over the fruit as a glaze.
