2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
Preheat and Prep: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
Cream the Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy. This usually takes about 2-3 minutes with an electric mixer. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until everything is well combined.
Combine the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Bring the Dough Together: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix! The dough will be soft and a bit sticky.
Form the Cookies: Scoop about 1.5 tablespoons of dough for each cookie, roll it into a ball, and place it on the prepared baking sheet. Gently flatten each ball with the palm of your hand or the bottom of a glass until it’s about ½-inch thick.
Bake to Perfection: Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just starting to turn a very light golden brown. The centers should still look soft. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Make the Frosting: While the cookies cool, make the cream cheese frosting. In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter together until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, beating until the frosting is creamy and lump-free.
Assemble Your Masterpieces: Once the cookies are completely cool, spread a generous layer of cream cheese frosting on each one. Then, arrange your sliced fruit in beautiful patterns on top of the frosting.
