Instructions
Bake the Cookies
- For the cookies, preheat oven to 375°F. In a small bowl, combine flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Whisk together.
- In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes). Beat in egg and vanilla. Gradually add the dry ingredients and mix until dough begins to come together.
- Roll rounded large walnut sized amounts of dough into balls and place on cookie sheet.
- Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until edges are set and lightly golden. Let stand on cookie sheet 2 minutes before moving to wire racks to cool completely.
Prepare the Frosting
- To prepare the frosting, mix the cream cheese and butter together in a medium bowl until smooth and creamy. Add vanilla.
- Gradually add the confectioner’s sugar until frosting reaches desired consistency. Store in refrigerator until ready to use.
Assemble the Fruit Pizza Cookies
- After cookies have cooled, they are ready to assemble.
- Spread 1-2 tablespoons of frosting on your cookie.
- Top with 2-3 tablespoons of diced fruit.
Notes
- When rolling out the dough, err on the side of making them larger. You want large cookies so you have space to add toppings on.
- If you are making this for a party, I'd recommend making an example and setting it on display so people know what to do.
- You can use large sugar cookies to give more room for decorating.
- Cookies can be prepped and frozen ahead of time.
- Be sure to chop the fruit into small pieces.
