Cookie

  1. Step 1

    To make the cookie dough, start by creaming the butter. Then gradually add sugar and flour. Beat until light and fluffy.

    Preheat oven to 350°F. Cut dough into stars with a 3-inch star shaped cutter.

  4. Step 4

    Bake at 350°F for 10 minutes or until edges are slightly browned. Remove from oven and allow cookies to cool.

Topping

  1. Step 1

    Blend together 2 tablespoons of Challenge Butter, 4 oz. cream cheese and ⅓ cup powdered sugar (have ingredients at room temperature).

  2. Step 2

    Spread baked cookies with cream cheese topping and arrange thin slices of strawberries and a few whole blueberries on top.
