🍪 Ingredients

For the cookie base:

• 1 roll of store-bought sugar cookie dough (or your favorite homemade recipe)
• Muffin tin or tart pans

For the cream filling:

• 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
• 1/3 cup powdered sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1–2 tbsp milk (for smoother texture)

For topping:

• Assorted fresh fruit (sliced strawberries, kiwi, blueberries, raspberries, mandarin oranges, etc.) 🍓🥝🫐🍊
• Optional: a little honey or apricot jam thinned with water for a glossy fruit glaze

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Bake the Cookie Tart Shells

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
• Roll sugar cookie dough into small balls and press into greased muffin tin cups, shaping them into tart shells by pressing up the sides.
• Bake for 10–12 minutes or until lightly golden. The centers may puff up — gently press them down with a spoon after baking.
• Let cool completely before removing from the pan.

2. Make the Cream Filling

• In a bowl, mix cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
• Add milk a little at a time until it’s light and spreadable.

3. Assemble the Tarts

• Spoon or pipe the cream filling into each cookie shell.
• Top with sliced fresh fruit in fun, colorful patterns — get creative! 🌈
• If you want them shiny, brush the fruit with a bit of honey or thinned jam.

🌟 Tips & Variations

• Use mini tart pans if you want a more traditional tart shape
• Try flavored cream cheese (like lemon or strawberry!) for extra flair
• Swap out fruits with the season — mango, peaches, grapes, or pomegranate work great too
• Make them ahead of time, but add fruit just before serving to keep them fresh
