Frosting:


Instructions

  • Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt into a large bowl and set aside.
  • In a separate large bowl or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream together the butter and sugar at high speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  • Add the vanilla and half of the sour cream and mix until combined.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients slowly, mixing just until incorporated.
  • Mix in the rest of the sour cream at low speed just until combined, do not overmix.
  • Flour a large piece of plastic wrap and scoop the dough out onto it. It might be easier to split the dough in half and use two pieces. Refrigerate the dough for 1 hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 325°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Remove the chilled dough from the refrigerator and dust a large flat surface with flour.
  • Divide the dough into thirds and use a rolling pin to roll out a portion of the dough until it's 1/4 inch thick. Use a 3-inch round cookie cutter to cut out the cookies and place them on the prepared cookie sheet about 2 inches apart. These cookies don't spread much. Repeat with the remaining portions of dough.
  • Bake for about 10 to 12 minutes, just until edges start to brown, remove from the oven and transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely. Bake off the remaining cookies.

Topping:

  • Add the chopped strawberries and sugar to a medium bowl and allow them to set while the cookies cool.

Frosting:

  • In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, vanilla, and 1 cup of powdered sugar until smooth.
  • Alternately add the remaining powdered sugar and heavy cream until combined. Then beat at high speed for 2 to 3 minutes until light and creamy.
  • Spread on cooled cookies and top with macerated strawberries. Serve the same day they are frosted.

Notes

  • The cookies can be baked a day in advance, but these should be served the same day they are frosted and topped with berries.
  • Feel free to use 2/3 cup each of strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries for the topping.
