Scale

(Makes 12 cookies)

Sugar cookie base:

1¼ cups all-purpose flour (or 1 cup almond flour + ¼ cup coconut flour for GF)
½ tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
½ cup unsalted butter, softened (you love buttery richness!)
¾ cup granulated sweetener (monk fruit blend for blood sugar friendly—you love this!)
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ tsp almond extract (optional—you love almond flavor!)

Vanilla glaze:

4 oz (½ block) full-fat cream cheese, softened (you love cream cheese!)
2 tbsp powdered sweetener (powdered erythritol or monk fruit blend)
1–2 tbsp unsweetened almond milk
½ tsp vanilla extract

Fruit topping:

1½ cups mixed fresh fruit, sliced thin:
→ Strawberries (you love berries!)
→ Blueberries (you love berries!)
→ Kiwi
→ Raspberries
→ Pineapple chunks (you love tropical fruit!)
Optional: Light brush of warmed apricot jam (sugar-free) to seal fruit

Instructions

1. Bake cookies:

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment.
Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt.
Beat butter and sweetener until light (~2 min). Add egg, vanilla, and almond extract; mix well.
Gradually add dry ingredients; mix until just combined.
Scoop 1-tbsp portions; roll into balls. Flatten slightly into 2.5″ rounds.
Bake 10–12 minutes until edges are golden. Cool completely.

2. Make glaze:

Beat cream cheese, powdered sweetener, almond milk, and vanilla until smooth and spreadable.

3. Assemble:

Spread glaze over cooled cookies. Arrange fruit in concentric circles or creative patterns. Optional: Brush fruit lightly with warmed sugar-free apricot jam for shine and freshness lock.

💡 Pro Tips for Perfection:
✅ Don’t overbake cookies—they should be soft centers for “pizza” texture.
✅ Pat fruit dry—prevents glaze from sliding off.
✅ Blood sugar friendly (you love this!):
→ All sweeteners are zero-glycemic
→ Net carbs: 6g per cookie
✅ Low-carb/keto option (you love this!):
→ Almond/coconut flour base keeps it keto
→ Focus on lower-sugar fruits: berries, kiwi
