Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or spray lightly with nonstick spray.
Prepare Shortbread:
Place butter and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer. Use the paddle attachment to blend until light and fluffy.
Add vanilla and salt to butter mixture and combine well, scraping down sides of bowl as needed.
Pour flour into bowl and, starting slowly, mix well to combine.
Divide dough into three equal pieces.
Place one piece of dough on a baking sheet. Press dough into a circle about ¼-inch thick.
Use a knife to cut the circle in half, then quarters, then eights. Do not separate triangles.
Repeat with remaining dough. You should have 3 ¼-inch thick circles.
Bake for 10-15 minutes or until lightly browned around the edges.
Remove shortbread from oven and immediately cut each circle into 8 pieces, following the lines you created earlier.
Allow shortbread to cool completely before proceeding.
Prepare Frosting:
While shortbread is baking, prepare frosting.
Wipe out mixing bowl from shortbread and add cream cheese. Use the paddle attachment to beat cream cheese until completely smooth.
Add powdered sugar and vanilla to cream cheese and mix until smooth.
With motor running, slowly pour in heavy cream. Gradually increase speed and mix until frosting can hold a soft peak.
Refrigerate frosting until ready to use.
Assemble Cookies:
Hull and slice strawberries. Peel and slice kiwi.
Frost cookies generously with cream cheese frosting. Decorate with strawberries, blueberries, and kiwi.
Arrange cookies in a pizza shape. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve. Enjoy!
