    Fruit Sugar Cookie Cups are the perfect blend of sweet and cookie. A sugar cookie base and cream cheese filled, this dessert won't be passed up by your guests. Great for baby showers or bridal showers, these can be made ahead of time.

    The perfect blend of fruit and cookie. Fruit Sugar Cookie Cups is basically a fruit pizza but in individual portions.

    That is easy enough, wouldn't you agree?

    Strawberries are coming into season here. In fact, my patch outside is about ready to start turning. We had the first strawberry of the year ripen a few days ago and as usual, I had to divide the strawberry up so every child gets a taste. It's worth it though because I love seeing the kids excited about fruit. I see a strawberry pie in our future! (Strawberry soup as well!)

    Using seasonal fruit

    Are you wondering if you can use any fruit you want? Yes you can! I would say blueberries would be great in this cream cheese recipe as would peaches.

    If you use a fruit like peaches, be sure to use a Fruit Fresh type product on it to keep it from turning brown, like this one.

    Even though I didn't use our own fruit from our garden, this recipe was delicious with store bought strawberries and raspberries. If it is wintertime, canned mandarin oranges (with the juices drained) would work well, especially if you paired it with kiwi.

    Instructions

    The sugar cookie dough is a simple recipe and the cream cheese mixture is, well, fantastic of course. Cream cheese and powdered sugar: how could it not be fabulous?

    When I made these, I found that using a muffin tin for the sugar cookie base worked great. I simply pressed the dough into the bottom of a slightly greased muffin tin.

    I then used a small scoop for the cream cheese mixture. That worked perfectly. After scooping the perfect amount, it was easy to spread the mixture around.

    FAQ

    How do we store this dessert?

    You will need to store this in an airtight container in the refrigerator. These sugar cookie cups last up to 48 hours in the fridge.

    Do you have to bake the cream cheese mixture?

    No, you don't! It is a no bake cream cheese mixture you will put in these cups.

    Can I use my favorite sugar cookie recipe for this?

    Sure, you can. I like this one, because of the almost shortbread like taste and texture. It compliments the cream cheese and fruit well. But certainly, if you have a family favorite recipe, go for it!

    This dessert would be great for upcoming family gatherings, picnics and BBQ's. Easy to make and looks so appealing. The fresh fruit is always a crowd favorite.
