Ingredients
Sugar Cookie
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter , at room temperature
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- 1 large egg
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Cream Cheese topping
- 8 oz cream cheese , softened
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter , softened
- 1 1/2 cup powdered sugar , sifted
- Assorted fresh fruit (I used 3 kiwis, about 1 pint strawberries, a handful of fresh blueberries, and about 10 mandarin orange slices)
Instructions
Make the Sugar Cookie:
- In a large bowl, beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add in the vanilla extract, almond extract and egg and continue beating until combined.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cornstarch, cream of tartar and salt.
- Carefully beat the flour mixture into the butter mixture.
- Form the dough into a large round disc, cover with clingfilm and place in the fridge for 30 minutes.
- When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350F degrees.
- Line a 12-inch pizza pan with parchment paper or very lightly grease and flour.
- Using a floured rolling pin or your palms, roll out or press the sugar cookie dough into a large circle on your pizza pan.
- Leave a border of about 1 inch around the cookie. Do not roll out/press the dough to the very edges of the pan. It can expand as it bakes.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 13-16 minutes, or until the top looks set and the edges are just starting to turn golden.
- Allow to cool fully before frosting.
Make the Frosting:
- In a medium bowl, beat together the cream cheese and butter until very soft.
- Slowly beat in the powdered sugar until your desired sweetness level is reached.
- Frost the cooled cookie using a flat-edge knife.
- Decorate with fresh fruit of choice.
Notes
Fruit pizza will keep for -3 days in the refrigerator. It should be covered lightly with plastic.
