Ingredients

For the Sugar Cookie Base:

16 oz prepared cookie dough (like Pillsbury)
1/4 cup all purpose flour (optional, this is how much Pillsbury suggests to add for cut out cookies)

For the Cream Cheese Frosting:

5 oz cream cheese (softened to room temperature)
5 TBS unsalted butter (softened to room temperature)
1 cup powdered sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract

For the Fruit Topping:

1/2 cup sliced strawberries
1/2 cup peeled and sliced kiwi
1/2 cup blueberries
1/2 cup purple grapes
1/2 cup raspberries
11 oz canned mandarin oranges

Instructions

For the Sugar Cookie Base:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a large baking sheet or two with parchment paper, or silicone liners, set aside.
Add the extra flour to the cookie dough, and knead them together.
Sprinkle extra flour on the work surface and roll the cookie dough out to be about 1/4 to 1/3inch thick.
Cut the cookie dough into egg shapes with the 3x4inch cookie cutters. Place them onto the prepared cookie sheet, at least 3 inches apart.
Re-roll any extra cookie dough and place the cookies onto the cookie sheets.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cookies look barely done.
Let the cookies cool for 5 minutes on the cookie sheet, then transfer them to a cooling rack to cool completely.

For the Cream Cheese Frosting:

Put your cream cheese in a large mixing bowl and beat over medium speed until smooth.
Add in the butter and stir till smooth.
Add in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract and continue beating till the frosting is smooth and fluffy.

For Decorating Cookies:

Spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the top of one cookie.
Add the prepared fruit over the top of the cookies in rows to make striped egg patterns. Repeat with additional cookies.
Serve the cookies, or chill for about 1 to 2 hours before serving.
