Star Fruit Cookies - $5 Dinners   Text It’s time to break out the foodie-fun with the kids this upcoming July 4th! Simple sugar cookies, cut with a star shape. Then add some cream cheese homemade icing, and then you can add some sliced strawberries and/or blueberries on top. (These are the star shape cookie cutters that I use!) The perfect red-white-and-blue treat for you and your kiddos this Independence Day! Note: I’ve got the recipe written with a homemade sugar cookie recipe, but you could use store bought dough too! Note: There is a print link embedded within this post, please visit this post to print it. Star Fruit Cookies Yield – 10 servings Preparation Time – 30 minutes Cooking Time – 10 minutes Ingredients 11 Tbsp softened butter, divided 1/2 cup sugar 1 egg 1 1/2 cups flour 3/4 tsp baking powder 1/4 tsp salt 1 Tbsp + 1 tsp vanilla extract, divided 5 oz. softened cream cheese 3 cups powdered sugar 1 lb. strawberries, washed and sliced Directions Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and preheat your oven to 350 F. In a large mixing bowl beat together 5 Tbsp softened butter and sugar until fluffy. Mix in your egg and 1 Tbsp vanilla. Mix in your flour, salt, and baking powder until you have a thick dough. Form your dough into a large dough ball and roll it out with a rolling pin. Use your star cookie-cutter to cut out about 10 stars. Place the stars on your parchment paper and bake for exactly 10 minutes, then let cool. While cooling, mix together your 6 Tbsp softened butter, softened cream cheese, 1 tsp vanilla and powdered sugar 1 cup at a time until you have a creamy frosting. Scoop your frosting into a large decorating bag, cut a small piece off the tip, and begin frosting your cookies. Wash and slice your strawberries. Place five strawberry slices on each cookie in a pinwheel shape and enjoy!      More Recent Articles DIY Scrabble Tile Herb Garden Markers Bertolli Olive Oil, Hellmann's or Best Foods Mayonnaise, Kelloggs Harvest Delights Cereal + More – Printable Coupons Buffalo Chicken Pasta Casserole 12 Must Buy Organic Ingredients from Costco Orange Julius Ice Pops       Click here to safely unsubscribe from "$5 Dinners."
