Ingredients
Sugar Cookie:
- ½ cup unsalted butter at room temperature
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon almond extract
- 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions
To Make the Sugar Cookie Crust:
- In a bowl with electric mixer, beat together the butter and granulated sugar until creamy, about 1 minute.
- Add the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract, and beat to combine.
- Add the flour, baking powder, and salt and beat until combined.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour. This is important - otherwise the dough will be too sticky.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Place dough on a floured surface.
- Sprinkle some flour on top of the dough and flour the rolling pin, and roll out to approximately ⅛" thick. It should be about 12-14" in diameter.
- Using a pizza cutter or a knife, cut into the shape of a heart.
- *Note: you can roll the leftover dough into individual cookies and bak them, if you'd like. Otherwise, you can discard.
- Carefully place the heart cookie dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes. The edge should be just slightly golden.
- Let cool completely.
Cream Cheese Frosting:
- Place cream cheese and jam in bowl and beat until well combined.
- Add the powdered sugar and salt, and beat until combined.
- Spread over the cooled heart cookie.
- Decorate with sliced fruit.
- Enjoy!
