Ingredients

  • 1 cup, 2 sticks, salted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 ⅓ cup all purpose flour
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup, 1 stick, salted butter, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • Strawberries, sliced, for topping
  • Granulated sugar, for rolling

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375° F.
  • In a standing mixer or by hand, combine butter and sugar and cream until light and fluffy, about 30 seconds. Add both eggs and mix until throughly combined, another 30 seconds. Add baking soda, salt, vanilla, and flour. Mix until just combined. Dough should be soft but not sticky.
  • Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until golden on the edges.
  • While cookies cool, mix up the frosting. By standing mixer or hand mixer, combine ingredients and mix until smooth.
  • Dice 2 cups strawberries into small pieces and toss in about 2 tablespoon of granulated sugar.
  • Pipe or spread frosting onto cooled cookies. Spoon prepared strawberries onto each cookie, as much as you’d like! Only spoon fruit onto the cookies you will serve that day. Store leftover berries covered in the refrigerator. Store leftover frosted cookies in a covered container at room temperature. Enjoy!
