Enjoy the soft and delicious taste of these sugar cookies topped with fresh strawberry icing. The combination of tender cookies and the fruity sweetness of strawberries results in a delicious treat.

Ingredients: 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour. 1/2 teaspoon baking powder. 1/2 teaspoon salt. 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened. 1 cup granulated sugar. 1 large egg. 2 tablespoons sour cream. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. For Fresh Strawberry Icing:. 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and pureed. 2 cups powdered sugar. 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract.

Instructions: Mix the flour, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl with a whisk. Melt the butter and mix it with the sugar in another bowl until the mixture is light and fluffy. Add the egg, sour cream, and vanilla extract and mix them in well. Mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients one at a time until a soft dough forms. Make two discs out of the dough, wrap each one in plastic wrap, and put them in the fridge for at least one to two hours. Warm the oven up to 350F 175C and put parchment paper on baking sheets. On a floured surface, roll out one piece of dough to about 1/4-inch thickness. Cut out the shapes you want with cookie cutters and place them on the baking sheets that have been prepared. After the oven is hot, bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to turn golden. For a few minutes, let the cookies cool on the baking sheets. Then, move them to wire racks to cool completely. Pure the strawberries, add the powdered sugar, and mix until smooth. This makes the fresh strawberry icing. Put some fresh strawberry icing on top of each cookie once they are completely cool. You can either spread it out or drizzle it on. Let the icing harden on the cookies before you serve them or put them away.

The sweet, fruity, and chocolatey flavors in these Banana Chocolate Chip Cupcakes go so well together. When you compare the moist banana cupcakes to the marble cream cheese frosting, the frosting is rich and creamy.

Ingredients: 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour. 1/2 cup granulated sugar. 1/2 cup brown sugar. 1 tsp baking powder. 1/2 tsp baking soda. 1/2 tsp salt. 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened. 2 ripe bananas, mashed. 2 large eggs. 1 tsp vanilla extract. 1/2 cup buttermilk. 1/2 cup chocolate chips. For Marble Cream Cheese Frosting:. 4 oz cream cheese, softened. 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened. 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar. 1 tsp vanilla extract. 2 tbsp cocoa powder.

Instructions: Preheat your oven to 350F 175C and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside. In another bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the mashed bananas, eggs, and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture. Mix until well combined. Gradually add the dry flour mixture and buttermilk to the banana mixture, alternating between the two. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips into the cupcake batter. Fill each cupcake liner with batter about 2/3 full. In a separate small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, softened butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract for the frosting. Mix until smooth and well combined. Divide the cream cheese frosting into two equal portions. In one portion, mix in the cocoa powder to create a chocolate frosting. Spoon dollops of both the regular cream cheese frosting and chocolate cream cheese frosting onto the cupcakes. Use a toothpick or skewer to swirl the frostings together, creating a marbled effect. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean. Allow the cupcakes to cool in the tin for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, you can add extra chocolate chips or decorative toppings if desired. Enjoy your delicious Banana Chocolate Chip Cupcakes with Marble Cream Cheese Frosting!
