  4. In another bowl, whisk together the baking powder and flour.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix until just combined.
  6. Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  7. Flatten them slightly and bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are lightly golden.
  8. Let them cool completely.
Make the Frosting
  1. In a bowl, beat together the room-temperature butter, cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Assemble the Cookies
  1. Once the cookies are cool, spread a generous layer of frosting on each cookie.
  2. Top with your chosen fresh fruits, arranging them in colorful patterns.

Notes

Make sure to use a variety of fruits for a colorful presentation. Chill the cookie dough if it spreads too much while baking. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2-3 days.
