Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp (5g) baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp (1.5g) salt
  • 8 oz (225g) Philadelphia cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tbsp (28g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups (240g) powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp (5ml) fresh lemon juice
  • 1 cup (150g) fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 1 cup (150g) fresh blueberries
  • 2 medium (120g) kiwis, peeled and sliced
  • 1 can (400g) mandarin oranges, drained

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12x17 inch baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract.
  3. Gradually stir in the flour, baking powder, and salt until a soft dough forms. Press the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
  4. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are just barely golden. Let the crust cool completely before frosting.
  5. In a medium bowl, beat the softened Philadelphia cream cheese and butter together until smooth and lump-free.
  6. Gradually add the powdered sugar one cup at a time on low speed. Stir in the vanilla extract and lemon juice.
  7. Increase the speed to medium-high and whip for 2 minutes until the frosting is airy and velvety.
  8. Spread the frosting evenly across the cooled cookie crust using an offset spatula, smoothing it all the way to the edges.
  9. Arrange the sliced strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, and mandarin oranges in concentric circles or a decorative pattern.
