Ingredients
Sugar Cookie Base
- 16.5 ounces refrigerated store-bought sugar cookie dough
Cream Cheese Frosting
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- 2 tablespoons butter softened
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
Toppings
- Assorted berries strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, pineberries, or your favorites
- 2 tablespoons raspberry, strawberry, or apricot jam
- 1 tablespoon water
Method
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cut the sugar cookie dough into ½-inch slices and arrange them into a heart shape on the baking sheet. Press the dough together to form a solid heart about ¼-inch thick. Use a paring knife to trim the edges and reshape as needed. Any trimmed dough can be used to fill in gaps. Tip: Place plastic wrap over the dough and use another baking sheet to gently press the dough evenly — this makes shaping super easy.
- Bake for 15–20 minutes, just until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool completely. To speed things up, you can pop the baked cookie into the refrigerator.
- In a mixing bowl, add the cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Use an electric mixer to whip until smooth and fluffy. Spread the frosting evenly over the cooled sugar cookie.
- Wash and thoroughly dry all berries. Slice strawberries in half and remove stems. Arrange the fruit on top of the frosting in any pattern you like — hearts, rows, or a colorful mix.
- In a small bowl, combine the jam and water. Microwave for 10–20 seconds until pourable, then whisk until smooth. Use a pastry brush to gently dab the glaze over the berries.
- Slice, serve, and enjoy!
