The perfect summertime dessert! A chewy sugar cookie, filled with sweet cream cheese frosting and topped with sweet and tangy strawberries. If a sugar cookie and a strawberry cheesecake fell in love, this would be their baby. You can top these with any kind of fruit your heart desires. These would also be great with peaches, other kinds of berries, kiwis, mandarins, or a mix of them all!

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Make the sugar cookie dough according to the instructions on the bag. If it gives an option for drop cookies or cut cookies, use the drop cookie directions. You do not need to refrigerate these before baking.
- Grease a cupcake pan. Add 1-2 heaping tablespoons of dough into each cupcake section. You should have enough dough for about 12 - 15 cookie cups. Using a small glass (like a shot glass) or your fingers, press the dough down to form a cup shape. If you're using a cup, you may want to grease the bottom of it so it doesn't stick to the dough.
- Bake for 7 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool almost completely, about 15 - 20 minutes.
- While the cookies cool, make the frosting by adding cream cheese to a medium bowl. Using an electric hand mixer, mix until cream cheese has a whipped fluffy consistency. Add in 1 cup of powdered sugar at a time. Add in 1 tbsp of half / half as needed to thin the frosting to your desired consistency. Add vanilla extract and set aside.
- Dice your strawberries, discarding the tops / leaves. If your strawberries are a little more tart than sweet, add them and 1/4 cup of sugar to a bowl, mix to coat, and let sit for about 5 minutes.
-
Remove the cookie cups from the pan. They may have lost a little bit of their cup shape in the oven (that's ok, don't panic! mine did too). Using a small glass, press down in the center of the cup and gently re-form the cup shape. They don't need to be perfect, just enough to hold some of the frosting and fruit.
- Assemble your cups. Add 1/2 - 1 Tbsp of frosting to each cookie cup, and top with 1 Tbsp of strawberries.
