I made these bad boys for the Fourth of July since they looked festive and were extremely refreshing for an outdoor gathering. I made my favorite sugar cookie recipe, and then topped them with a cream cheese/whipped cream frosting, strawberries and blueberries, and a pineapple glaze. Pure perfection!
The glaze was my favorite part, so don't skimp out on that. Just be careful it doesn't run down the side so you don't run the risk of getting the cookies soggy. The cookies are soft and moist, and the cool topping makes them a refreshing summery treat. I'm sure these will go in a heartbeat at any gathering. Enjoy!
