Fruit Tart Cookies

Sugar cookies:

1 c. sugar

1/2 c. butter

1 egg

1 tsp vanilla

1/2 c. sour cream

3 1/4 c. flour

1 tsp soda

1/2 tsp salt

Mix sugar and butter. Add egg and vanilla. Mix in sour cream. Add flour, soda and salt. Roll out dough and cut thick. {Use any fun shape . . . round, heart, star for 4th of July!} Bake at 375 for 6-8 minutes. Cool cookies well!

Filling/Icing:

8 oz cream cheese

1 c. powdered sugar

8 oz cool whip

Mix cream cheese and powdered sugar. Then stir in cool whip.

Once cookies are cooled, spread filling on top. Top with fresh fruit {I usually use 4 or 5 kinds}: strawberries, kiwi, blueberries, raspberries, mandarin oranges, peaches, grapes and bananas {soak bananas in lemon or pineapple juice first to prevent browning}.
