Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F and prepare a half sheet pan by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together cubed butter and granulated sugar. Add in the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract; mix until combined.
Gradually incorporate flour and baking powder until a dough forms; it may appear crumbly but should hold together when squeezed.
Use a large cookie scoop to form balls of dough, flatten slightly with a glass, then chill in the refrigerator for 5 minutes.
Bake for 8–10 minutes until lightly golden around the edges. Let cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to cooling racks.
For frosting: Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Once cookies have cooled completely, generously frost with cream cheese frosting and top with fresh fruit.
