Ingredients

Scale
  • For the cookies:
  • 2 3/4 cups flour (plus more for sprinkling on counter and rolling pin)
  • 1 1/2 cups white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • For the frosting:
  • 1 1/4 cup cream cheese (1 12oz tub)
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 small container strawberries (about 15 or so)
  • 1 small container blueberries

Instructions

  1. For the cookies, mix all the dry ingredients except the sugar in a large bowl
  2. Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, cream together the softened butter and sugar
  3. Beat in the egg and vanilla
  4. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients
  5. Form dough into a hockey puck shaped slab and wrap in saran wrap
  6. Place in the fridge for 30 minutes
  7. Meanwhile, make your frosting and prep your fruit
  8. Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until completely combined. Set aside.
  9. Dice your strawberries and set aside
  10. When the 30 minutes have passed, preheat your oven to 375 degrees
  11. Take your dough out of the fridge and flour your counter top where you will be rolling out the dough
  12. Flour your rolling pin (you may need to re-flour the rolling pin often throughout this process)
  13. Place the dough on the floured surface and roll, starting from the center and going outward
  14. After several rolls, lift sections of the dough up with a spatula and sprinkle more flour under them
  15. You may need to repeat this step a few times throughout the process – the dough should be able to slide across the counter
  16. Once your dough is about 1/4 inch thick, cut into rectangles using a cookie cutter, any other rectangular object, or a knife
  17. Place a sheet of parchment paper on top of a baking sheet, and place the cookies on top of the paper
  18. Bake for about 8-10 minutes, or until the cookies are slightly golden brown
  19. Let them cool for a few minutes
  20. Frost with a few large dollops of frosting per cookie and decorate with the blueberries and strawberries so the cookies look like flags
