Directions

1. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and white sugar until
2. smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time until each is blended in. Stir
3. in the vanilla. Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt; stir into the
4. creamed mixture, alternating with the buttermilk, mixing just until
5. blended. If the dough is really sticky, you may need more flour.
6. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
7. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). On a lightly
8. floured surface, roll the dough out to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut into
9. squares and rectangles using a pizza cutter or knife. Place cookies
10. about 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets.
11. Bake for 6 to 8 minutes in the preheated oven, until the edges begin
12. to brown lightly.
13. While the cookies are baking, make the frosting. In a medium bowl,
14. beat the cream cheese and confectioners' sugar until soft and
15. creamy. Stir in the whipped topping until well blended.
16. Spread a thin layer of the frosting onto each cookie. Make heart
17. cards by placing strawberry slices onto the rectangular cookies, and
18. dice by placing blueberries onto the square cookies. Refrigerate
19. until serving, or serve immediately after frosting. They are best when
20. served cold.
