Ingredients
For the Cookie Base:
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
For the Frosting:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Toppings:
- 1 cup sliced strawberries
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1 cup kiwi, peeled and sliced
- 1 cup mandarin oranges (fresh or canned, drained)
- ½ cup raspberries
- Optional: Honey for drizzling
Instructions
1. Prepare the Sugar Cookie Base:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing well.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.
- Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to form a large circle (about ¼ inch thick) or press it into a greased 12-inch pizza pan for an authentic “pizza” shape.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Let it cool completely.
2. Make the Frosting:
- In a bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
3. Assemble the Pizza:
- Spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the cooled cookie base.
- Arrange the fruit toppings in a colorful pattern. For a rainbow effect, start from the center and work outward with different colors of fruit. Be creative—this is where the fun happens!
- Optional: Drizzle a little honey on top for added sweetness.
4. Serve and Enjoy:
- Slice the cookie pizza like you would a regular pizza and serve.
