Cookie Ingredients:

  • 1 cup butter
  • 1-1/2 cups sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1-1/2 tsp clear vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp almond extract
  • 2-3/4 cups flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt

Frosting/Topping Ingredients:

  • 8 oz. cream cheese softened
  • 3 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 50 blueberries
  • 1 pint strawberries

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 10x15x1 baking pan with foil.
  • Combine butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg and extracts until thoroughly combined.
  • In separate bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add flour mixture, 1 cup at a time to wet ingredients.
  • Press dough mixture into pan. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Cool completely.
  • Once cookie mixture is cooled, mix together softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, & lemon zest with electric mixer until smooth. Spread evenly over cooled cookie.
  • Arrange berries on cream cheese mixture to resemble the flag. (*If you use raspberries instead of strawberries, youâ??ll be more likely to be able to fit all 13 â??stripesâ? on the flag â?? the strawberries were too big to fit the proper number)
