- 2¾ cups (380 g) all-purpose flour

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a stand mixer, cream together the salted butter and granulated sugar on medium-high speed for about 3 minutes until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg, egg yolk, vanilla, and almond extract, mixing on low speed until the mixture is smooth, approximately 30 seconds.
- Gradually add the baking soda, salt, and all-purpose flour, mixing until just combined.
- Using a ¼ cup cookie scoop, scoop the dough into large balls and place 6-7 on each lined baking sheet.
- Bake for 11-14 minutes until the edges are lightly golden brown and the tops have a little crackle.
- In a mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese and salted butter until creamy and smooth.
- Incorporate the vanilla, pinch of salt, and powdered sugar, mixing until smooth and well combined.
- Once the cookies have cooled, frost each cookie with the cream cheese mixture and top with diced fresh fruit.
Notes
Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature for easier mixing.
Experiment with different fruits for topping based on your preference or seasonal availability.
For added color and flavor, consider using a mix of berries or tropical fruits.
