The Finished Product! :) |
What is better than sugar cookies, cream cheese frosting, and fresh fruit? I'm going to have to say there is nothing in the world that even comes close to beating that! Not even baby kittens. That’s a big deal.
Now, this pin was fairly easy to execute. I bought cookies in a package so that all I had to do was throw them in the oven and make sure to set the timer. I wanted to have a foolproof plan, but let's be real. Nothing is fool proof.
After I put the cookies in the over, I began cutting up the fruit.
Naturally I pretended that I was Rachel Ray, a cooking extraordinaire, and tried to make every slice precise. And once again, naturally I ended up with non-glamorous blobs of fruit…fail (ok maybe I exaggerated a bit, it wasn’t a major failure). Trying to redeem myself from the not so great cutting job, I turned my attention towards the frosting. I then pulled a typical non-homemaker move; I tried to rush things and became impatient.
I took the cream cheese straight out of the fridge and, without letting it soften, put it right in the bowl with the powdered sugar and began mixing them together. It’s not like it didn’t work, it’s just that it didn’t work well. At all.
So now I have burnt cookies, (I burnt the cookies by the way) chunky frosting, and blobs of fruit. Solid! Why am I so good at life?! (if you couldn’t tell that was a hint of sarcasm). It was sad. I'm the worst. The cookies were crunchy. BUT, they were still super delicious which made me so happy! Even though I messed up on them, they still tasted like heaven!
So I highly recommend this recipe. It was so easy, that even I could do it! Me! A non-crafty, non-homemaker can do it! Seriously though, I decided while making these cookies that I'm not very good at being a girl. Girls are supposed to be amazing at baking and amazing at sewing and things like that and I'm just straight up not. It’s a sad life I lead, not being very good at being a girl. But that's beside the point, the point of this is to say how great the pin was and let me tell you, this pin was WONDERFUL!
I would give it an 8 on a scale of 1 to 10. And when I say 8, I mean that it’s frozen yogurt good. That’s dang good! Seriously, it was so easy, all I had to do was put the cookies on a sheet and throw them in the oven, cut up some fruit, and mix cream cheese with powdered sugar to make the best cookies ever! I highly recommend this pin.
My only advice would be to let the cream cheese soften prior to making the frosting….that was kind of a big mistake. I’m good at doing that. But that’s what’s so great about life, we can learn from each others mistakes! So now all of you can make delicious cookies without burning them and without making chunky frosting. I hope you enjoy! :)

ReplyDeletelol Anna you're AMAZING!! Those sound Delicious!! Yum
ReplyDeleteThose look sooo yummy! It makes me want to try and make them but I am sure my fruit would not look as pretty as yours and I would have a hard time being patient with the frosting as well. Love you!
