Ingredients
For the sugar cookies:
- 250 g flour
- 120 g butter (softened)
- 100 g sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- Pinch of salt
For the frosting:
- 200 g cream cheese
- 80 g powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla
For topping:
- Strawberries
- Kiwi
- Blueberries
- Mandarin slices or mango
Ingredient tips
Use ripe, fresh fruits for the best flavor and color. Chill the dough slightly if it’s too soft to handle. Full-fat cream cheese gives a richer, smoother frosting.
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the dough
In a bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla, then mix in the dry ingredients until a soft dough forms.
Step 2: Shape the cookies
Roll out the dough and cut into egg shapes. Place them on a lined baking sheet.
Step 3: Bake
Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 10–12 minutes until lightly golden. Let cool completely.
Step 4: Make the frosting
Mix cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
Step 5: Assemble
Spread frosting over each cookie. Decorate with fruit to create colorful Easter egg designs.
Step 6: Chill & serve
Refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving for best texture.
