Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup salted butter
- 1½ cups granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- ½ teaspoon almond extract
- 2¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons salted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- pinch of salt
- 1¾ cups powdered sugar
- fresh fruit for topping
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a stand mixer, combine the butter and granulated sugar, beating on medium-high until light and fluffy for about 3 minutes.
- Add the egg, egg yolk, vanilla, and almond extract; mix on low speed until smooth, about 30 seconds.
- Gradually mix in the baking soda, salt, and flour until just combined.
- Scoop large dough balls (about ¼ cup each) onto the lined baking sheets, placing 6-7 per sheet.
- Bake for 11-14 minutes, until golden around the edges and slightly cracked on top. Avoid overbaking for a chewy texture.
- In a bowl, beat the cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add vanilla, a pinch of salt, and powdered sugar, mixing until creamy.
- Once the cookies have cooled, spread a layer of frosting on each cookie and top with diced fresh fruit.
Notes
Make sure the butter is at room temperature for easy mixing.
Use a variety of fresh fruits to make the pizzas colorful and appealing.
Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature.
