Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a half sheet pan by greasing it or lining with parchment paper.
  2. Cream together 1 cup of softened salted butter and 1 cup of granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
  3. Add in 1 whole egg, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1 teaspoon of almond extract; beat until well combined.
  4. Gradually sift in 1 teaspoon of baking powder followed by 2 ½ cups of all-purpose flour; mix gently until a soft dough forms.
  5. Scoop out portions of dough (approximately 3 tablespoons each), roll them into balls, and flatten each ball with the bottom of a glass.
  6. Refrigerate the shaped dough for about 5 minutes, then bake for 8-10 minutes until edges are golden.
  7. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Beat together 8 ounces of softened cream cheese, ¼ cup of softened butter, and 2 cups of powdered sugar until smooth.
  9. Frost the cooled cookies generously with the cream cheese mixture and arrange fresh fruits on top.
  10. If possible, store the frosted cookies in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
