Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup butter
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1 egg
• 1/2 tsp. baking soda
• 1 tsp cream of tartar
• 1 3/4 cup flour
• 1- 8 oz. pkg cream cheese
• 1/4 cup honey or agave nectar
• 2 Tbsp Orange/Pineapple juice
• 1 cup Cool Whip
• Fresh fruit for topping

Preheat your oven to 350°. In a bowl, beat butter, sugar, and egg until fluffy. Add baking soda, cream of tartar, and flour. Mix until well combined. It should be the consistency of a soft cookie dough. Press dough onto a buttered round pizza dish or a 9×13 baking pan. Bake for 15 minutes. Allow to cool.
In a separate mixing bowl, combine cream cheese,  juice, honey, and cool whip. Mix until well combined and spread on cooled cookie crust.
Top with fresh fruit. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
Note: We use the term “healthy” a little liberally for this recipe. However, for a dessert recipe, you’ll find you at least get nutrients to go along with your sugar. To make this recipe lighter try using Neufchâtel cheese instead of cream cheese and fat free cool whip. You could also halve the topping recipe and top with more fruit.
