Ingredients
Brown Sugar Cookie Crust
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour plus extra for rolling
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
Cream Cheese Frosting
- 8 ounce low-fat cream cheese
- 2-3 tablespoons maple syrup or honey or 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of fine sea salt
Toppings
- Fresh strawberries blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, or any other fruit of choice
- Optional fresh honey for drizzling
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a quarter sheet pan, a 9 x 13-inch baking dish, or a 12-inch round pizza pan with cooking spray.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the egg, vanilla, and almond extract, beating until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid over-mixing the dough.
- Press the dough evenly into the prepared pan, poking a few holes with a fork to prevent bubbling. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until lightly golden. Allow to cool on a wire rack for 20 minutes.
